Work/Life Balance Policies

There are a range of policies designed to support staff to balance work and home life and deal with personal responsibilities, as well as some of life's major events.

Full copies of all these policies, procedures and application forms are available from Human Resources.

I am pleased to introduce the University of Dundee's suite of Work/Life Balance Policies.

In developing the policies the University continuously draws on the knowledge and experience of the representative bodies and Human Resources staff. The result is a wide ranging, and in some areas, innovative set of policies designed to support our staff balance work and home life and deal with personal responsibilities, as well as some of life's major events.

Our aims in promoting Work/Life Balance Policies are to demonstrate the value the University places on its employees and to recognise the need for flexibility in the relationship between employer and employee within a context that supports our equality and diversity objectives.

We believe that through such Human Resources policies, the University will benefit through the commitment of our staff and that this approach will help us retain existing valuable employees and support our aspiration to make the University of Dundee an employer of choice.
