The slecetion pool process for the AYO and full year library assistant positions was concluded today when affected staff were told the results of the selection pool process in terms of which roles were disestablished and which roles were continuing, albeit with different patterns of work hours. All affected staff spoken with today agreed with this general update being sent to all library staff to share the outcomes with all staff at the same time.

Staff whose roles continue with amended hours of work include:
Sheila Nokes, Joanne Webb, Swee Hoon Goh (in a full year role), Beth Mannix, and Zina Swanson.

Staff whose roles have been selected for redundancy include:
Jenny Fitzgerald, Susan Julian, Swee Hoon Goh (in her current AYO role),

Elena Frolova elected to take voluntary redundancy.

Three months notice of redundancy begins as of today (16/11/09).

My thanks to all the staff involved in the selection pool process for a job carefully and well done and for those staff who have been subject to the outcome of the selection pool process. It has not been easy but staff have been generous in making it as pleasant as possible for all involved.
