Unicamp will launch this Thursday (14) the Server Relocation Program (PRS) for the career of Teaching, Research and Extension Support Professionals (Paepe). The objective of the initiative is to promote the movement of human resources between the University's teaching and research bodies and units. The event will take place from 16pm, in the University Council room (Consu), and will be attended by directors of the institution.
The PRS, explains the general coordinator of Unicamp, professor Teresa Atvars, aims to improve the management of the University's professional staff. Currently, according to the professor, server mobility is possible, but the process is poorly articulated. “With this measure, which is part of our management program and is in line with Unicamp’s Strategic Planning, we intend to reconcile the human resources needs of the units and bodies with the employee’s interest in a change of workplace.”
According to the general coordinator, several units and bodies at the University are lacking human resources in different areas. The problem occurs for several reasons, including retirements and dismissals. “By seeking an answer to the question internally, without holding public competitions, Unicamp avoids increasing its payroll expenses while at the same time seeking to value its professionals”, considers professor Teresa Atvars.
The director adds that much of the relocation process will take place online. A tool that will be made available on the General Directorate of Human Resources (DGRH) website will bring together the vacancies offered by teaching and research bodies and units, with a detailed description of the requirements required of the employee and the activities he or she will perform. The candidate will then register their interest in the vacancy. The entire process will be monitored by a Technical Analysis Committee, formed by members of the DGRH and the Dean of University Development (PRDU), who will be appointed by the rector Marcelo Knobel.
The last stage of the selection will be an interview with the candidate for the position, which will be carried out by the teaching and research body or unit interested in the professional. According to the resolution that established the PRS, civil servants completing a probationary period will not be able to participate in the program. The document also establishes that “under no circumstances will there be a change in the employee's salary reference due to the implementation of the relocation”. “It is important that people understand that the program does not represent a promotion process. This is a career-related topic, which will be duly addressed on another occasion”, explains the general coordinator of the University.
Professor Teresa Atvars also adds that it is not possible to make estimates regarding the number of vacancies or professionals who will be involved in the PRS. “We are considering this first round, which should end in mid-November, as a pilot project. At the end of the process, we will be able to evaluate what worked and what didn't work well. This will allow us to make the necessary adjustments, so that we can open a continuous flow program”, she details.
