The UWI Mona Campus' Annual Departmental Reports 2022_2023

DEAN’S OVERVIEW

staff loyalty, improve employee engagement and morale, and promote efficiency and productivity among staff. The three Faculties of Humanities and Education have been working to develop new promotion guidelines for staff moving through the academic appointment levels. A need was felt for staff at Mona to consider these guidelines and their prac- tical application in some depth. The meeting, held on-line 9 December 2022, was attended by over forty members of academic staff across the Faculty, and resulted in the allocation of responsibilities for developing sub-proposals regarding the evaluation of (new) media work and other non-traditional scholarly productions, the value of literary and academic translation, the inclusion of journals published in languages other than English, and the possibility of establishing criteria for the weighting of publications in different journals. The process of fine-tuning the guidelines is to be completed in the 2023/24 academic year. STAFF CAREER DEVELOPMENT FHE welcomed new academic staff members on board, and saw several staff mem- bers appointed in regular positions or promoted:
