Staff Retention cases
There are rare occasions when the University wishes to consider attempting to retain a member of staff who has an offer of employment from elsewhere. The University Executive Board considers it important, in an increasingly competitive environment, to have a policy setting out how it deals with retention.
The University will only seek to retain a member of staff in exceptional circumstances.
A retention case can be brought for any member of staff, regardless of grade or category.
A case will usually only be considered if the member of staff has a job offer from another organisation, although the Vice-Chancellor may, exceptionally, waive this condition.
Further details can be found in the Retention Policy
Applications are made using the Staff Retention Form. Once complete, the form is submitted to the Vice Chancellor via vc@reading.ac.uk, copied to the University Secretary, Louise Sharman via l.v.sharman@reading.ac.uk
