This report was undertaken by a group of four researchers from the University of Melbourne (details in Appendix 1), as part of their participation in the Academic Women in Leadership course in 2016. The project brief was to explore how the University of Melbourne can best support career interruptions for male and female staff. Within this broad project brief, the team further refined the focus to aim to explore workplace cultures of career interruptions and towards career interruption policies at the University of Melbourne. In-depth face to face interviews were undertaken in October and November 2016 with a total of ten staff members, across two faculties at the university of Melbourne. One faculty was a Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) faculty, and the other was a non-STEM faculty. The results were analysed using qualitative methods. Five recommendations are presented. They are elaborated in the final section of the report: 1. Consider increasing research allocation for first 6 months on return to work 2. Provide guidance on 'Performance Relative to Opportunity' to managers and staff 3. Include strategies for re-entry and support in 'Performance Development Framework' discussion 4. Tailor career interruptions policies to accommodate different work patterns 5. Provide more bridging/transitional support such as fellowships for staff who have experienced career interruption/s |
