The AU Workplace in Focus – Autumn edition

Do you know your employment rights? Maybe you feel lost in all the AU systems? Or would like to meet new colleagues? Then the AU Workplace in Focus is for you. 

At the AU Workplace in Focus, you will learn more about the AU workplace, get answers to typical questions about your daily life at the university, including terms of employment, your rights as an employee, salary negotiations, workplace assessments and occupational health – all during this two-hour session.

The AU Workplace in Focus is an event for international staff hosted by the International Staff Office (ISO). The event is aimed at employees who have been at the university for up to six months, but all are welcome no matter how long you have been at the university.

After the formal programme, we invite you for a nice lunch (selection of vegetarian options including beverages). During the entire event there is plenty of opportunity to network with colleagues. After lunch you have the option of joining a guided tour around campus.
