Site Visit: the day HR got interesting
Summer in our HR team wasn’t about ice cream—it was about preparing for the Site Visit. How did we do when the evaluators came? And what does a day like that actually look like?
In January 2020, we visited a workshop at the National Institute of Mental Health in Klecany. This institution, holder of the HR Excellence in Research Award, organized an interesting session related to this topic for their employees and colleagues from other research institutions.
The speaker was Mr. Indi Seehra, the HR Director of the London School of Economics (LSE), which has been a holder of this award for 10 years.
Mr. Seehra discussed his experience in implementation of the Human resources Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R), focused on researchers´ career development (Vitae – Research Development Framework), and employee satisfaction surveys.
We learned a lot from shared best practices and recommendations and thank the NIMH institute for inviting us!

How do they take care of their employees elsewhere? We took a closer look at HR practices at the University of Tartu.
