Læs følgende nyheder for uge 36 Informationsmøde Der afholdes informationsmøde onsdag den 23. september kl. 13 i Fysisk Auditorium, hvor institutlederen vil fortælle om 'rigets tilstand'. Fysisk APV Kære medarbejder Nu er det igen tid til Fysisk Arbejdspladsvurdering (Fysisk APV). Alle medarbejdere opfordres til at besvare det elektroniske spørgeskema, der sendes pr. e-mail i midten af september 2015. Formålet med at gennemføre en APV er at sikre, at vi får set på alle væsentlige forhold i vores arbejdsmiljø. APV er en vurdering af arbejdspladsens arbejdsmiljøforhold, hvor arbejdsmiljøet bliver kortlagt og vurderet og handlingsplaner bliver udarbejdet og prioriteret. Handlingsplanerne bliver gjort tilgængelige for alle medarbejdere, og der følges op på handlingsplanerne. Den seneste APV på Aarhus Universitet blev gennemført i 2012. APV skal gennemføres hvert tredje år og universitetets ledelse og HAMU (hovedarbejdsmiljøudvalget) har besluttet at gennemføre den fysiske APV i efteråret 2015, mens den psykiske gennemføres i første kvartal 2016. Kortlægningen af det fysiske arbejdsmiljø er ikke anonymt. Spørgeskemaet vil blive sendt fra AU Fysisk APV med emnet: " Fysisk Arbejdspladsvurdering. Vigtigt. - Physical Workplace Assessment. Important." Besøg af rektor den 8. oktober Brian Bech Nielsen kommer på den årlige besøgsrunde, hvor han møder medarbejdere for at drøfte universitetets udvikling og udveksle visioner og problemer. På møderne er der sat god tid af til medarbejdernes kommentarer og spørgsmål. Mødet finder sted på IFA den 8. oktober kl. 11.30-13.00 i Fys. Aud. og alle medarbejdere er indbudt. Nye rejseregler AU har besluttet, at rejsepolitikken ændres, således at brugen af rejsebureau gøres frivillig. Man kan således stadig vælge enten at bestille rejsen direkte hos flyselskabet eller bruge CWT. Ønsker man at benytte et rejsebureau skal det være CWT, som AU har aftale med. Det er naturligvis som hidtil vigtigt at alle regler overholdes med hensyn til at man altid skal vælge billigst mulige rejse (og ellers kunne begrunde, hvorfor man evt. har valgt en løsning, der ikke er den billigste). Herudover er det vigtigt, at alle medarbejdere holder sekretær og gruppe orienteret om rejseplaner, ligesom vi henstiller til alle at det indføres i kalenderen. Det er udelukkende af hensyn til force majeure (terrorhandlinger, jordskælv og andet), der kan medføre, at Universitetet skal oplyse overfor myndighederne, om vi har medarbejdere på berørte destinationer. Det er også muligt at registrere sig på Danskerlisten<http://um.dk/da/rejse-og-ophold/rejse-til-udlandet/danskerliste/> (Udenrigsministeriet) http://medarbejdere.au.dk/administration/oekonomi/rejsebestilling-og-udgifts... It-systemer ude af drift 5.-6. september 2015 Fra lørdag den 5. september kl. 18 til søndag den 6. september kl. 14 vedligeholder og optimerer AU IT en række af universitetets IT-systemer og IT-services, og det er nødvendigt at sætte dem kortvarigt ud af drift. Derfor er det som udgangspunkt ikke muligt at udføre arbejde, der er afhængig af universitetets IT i dette tidsrum. Hele weekenden kan du dog arbejde med filer lokalt på din computer og benytte AV-udstyret på universitetet. Find en oversigt over hvilke IT-systemer og IT-services der er påvirket på http://driftstatus.au.dk. Læs meddelelsen på medarbejdere.au.dk<http://medarbejdere.au.dk/#news-6035>. Tidspunktet for arbejdet er valgt ud fra en høring blandt de faglige og administrative miljøer, således at færrest muligt er berørt. AU IT håber på forståelse for de gener, det eventuelt medfører.

The Head of Department will inform about 'the state of the empire'. Physical Workplace Assessment (the physical WPA) Dear AU employee Once again, it's time for the Physical Workplace Assessment (the Physical WPA). All employees are encouraged to complete the electronic questionnaire that will be sent by email in mid-September 2015. AU performs workplace assessments to make sure that we examine all important aspects of the university's work environment. A WPA is an assessment of the work environment at a company or institution in which the work environment is described and assessed, and action plans are developed and prioritised. These action plans will be made available to all employees, and progress in relation to action plans will be evaluated. The most recent WPA at Aarhus University was performed in 2012. WPAs must be performed every third year, and the senior management team and the Main Occupational Health and Safety Committee have decided to schedule the physical WPA in autumn 2015, while the psychological WPA is to be carried out in the first quarter of 2016. The questionnaires used in assessing the work environment at AU are not anonymous. The questionnaire will be sent from AU Fysisk APV with the subject heading: " Fysisk Arbejdspladsvurdering. Vigtigt. - Physical Workplace Assessment. Important." Visit by the rector on 8 October 2015 Brian Bech Nielsen will make his annual visits to the university's various units, where he will meet employees to discuss the development of the university and to exchange visions and problems. There will be time for comments and asking the rector questions. The visit to IFA will take place on 8 October at 11:30-13:00 in the Physics Auditorium. All employees are invited. Revised AU Travel Policy AU has decided to change its travel policy and allow employees to book their flight directly with the airlines. It is still possible to use AU's travel agency Carlson Wagonlit Travel (CWT). As always it is important to observe all rules and guidelines with regard to choosing the cheapest possible travel solution. It is a group leader's responsibility to always be informed of his/her group members' travel activities. This alone with regard to force majeure situations (acts of terror, earthquakes etc.) where relevant authorities must be informed. It is also possible to register on the Danes Abroad List<http://um.dk/en/travel-and-residence/residence-and-or-work-permits/danes-abroad/> (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark) Read more<http://medarbejdere.au.dk/en/faculties/business-and-social-sciences/news/news-article/artikel/nye-regler-for-bestilling-af-flyrejser/> - AU Travel Policy<http://medarbejdere.au.dk/en/administration/finance/travel-booking-and-expense-reimbursement/> IT systems out of operation on 5-6 September 2015

From Saturday 5 September at 6 pm till Sunday 6 September at 2 pm, AU IT will maintain and optimise a variety of the university's IT systems and IT services and it is necessary to put them out of operation shortly. As a rule you cannot carry out work where you need the university's IT in this time span.

You are able to work with files locally on your computer and use the AV equipment at AU the entire weekend. Find an overview of the affected IT systems and IT services on http://driftstatus.au.dk/en See the announcement on staff.au.dk <http://medarbejdere.au.dk/en/#news-6035> The weekend in question has been chosen on the basis of a consultation among the academic and administrative environments so that it impacts as few people as possible. AU IT apologises for the inconvenience it may cause.
