OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Making it work: maintaining balance upon returning to work
To sign up, please email Jennie Challender at jennie.challender@admin.ox.ac.uk by 16th November 2018, providing any special dietary requirements.
This workshop is being offered across the University to parents/carers who have recently returned to work after a career break. The goal is to provide recent returners with the information, tools, support, and networks they need to ensure a successful and smooth return to work. The workshop will be open to all who have recently returned or will be returning to work after taking a break for caring responsibilities, with a particular focus on those returning to work following a period or periods of parental leave, paternity leave, maternity or adoption leave”
Over the half-day workshop, you will:
Learn about relevant HR policies and practices, and have your questions answered by an HR team member and the Head of Childcare Services;
Get an overview of the core skills needed to communicate with confidence and practise some of those skills in a supportive environment;
Hear from a panel of returning carers (academics, researchers, and professional and support staff) who will share their tips on time management and balancing home and work demands;
Network and meet other recent returners from around the University over lunch;
Tea/coffee and lunch will be provided.
