The College and University Support Network's 2009 Report was released this week.
The report suggests that the recession is continuing to affect employees in post-school education with a 26 per cent increase in grants awarded by the charity compared to 2008.
There were over 300 factsheet views in the last fortnight. Several of the factsheets in the top five relate to dealing with difficult people in the workplace, making it the hot topic for our CUSN users.
Our InfoCentre contains nearly 500 factsheets on a whole range of topics, including dealing with difficult people. You can visit the online InfoCentre24 hours a day for advice, information and useful links. Take a look here.
Communication is at the heart of being a good teacher, lecturer or in any other position in post-school education. The relationships you form with staff, students, parents or governors can make all the difference to your job day to day and to your career in the longer term. Make it a priority to build and develop your communication skills – listening as well as talking!
