Human Resorce Manual

Abstract

The Human Resource Manual [HRM] stipulates the operating rules and procedures to be followed by all stakeholders of Bishop Stuart University [BSU] and its subsidiary campuses in conducting their duties. It constitutes the University’s organizational structure and working framework. The manual seeks to regulate employees’ conduct, aims at ensuring efficiency and emphasizing quality at the gate through which the organizational structure is to promote the objectives and goal of the University. Accordingly, the manual outlines the Human resource policies and lays down, procedures, terms and conditions of service which are to govern employment relationships between employees and the University. Training and Management is a highly technical function which requires appropriate levels of education, training and talent. The manual emphasizes the need to recruit staff of suitable qualification with the right attitude to work and ability to execute their duties. It is my hope that Staff and Management will be able to understand this framework to create a conducive working environment and provide care for student and employees’ material and other needs. The setup is expected to bring about a degree of personal involvement in the operations of the University and its campuses. I wish to record my gratitude in my capacity as Chairman of the University Council to the colleagues who drafted this manual for their commendable contributions. My thanks also go to the Vice Chancellor and the University Secretary and their team of senior members of staff who put together relevant material and provided the necessary information in the development of this manual.
