Department of Human Resources
This Department was established in February 2013 in response to the need for better managing human resources and achieving excellence in the work carried out and in the services provided by the Athenaeum. The activities of the Department, carried out under the supervision of its Head, Plamena H. Petrova, are as follows: (i) routine personnel management and administration; and (ii) development of human resources (education, training, and assessment). The latter activity has translated into the organisation of courses – mandatory courses on workplace safety and other courses to develop or improve basic or transversal skills – and the start of a performance assessment process in 2014; the process has been fully operational since the 2015-2016 academic year.
