Communications<\/h3>\n

ITM is strengthening administrative support for communication. Currently, the school has two employees working in communications, communications manager Jenni Hollbrink<\/a>, and Peter Waites<\/a>, who is focused on web and digital communication. A third recruitment is under way, which is linked to research communication and the S\u00f6dert\u00e4lje initiative.<\/p>\n

If you have ideas or are in need for support in these areas, do not hesitate to contact our communications staff. Above all, make sure you are up to date on the school\u2019s internal website<\/a>, as our ambition is to develop internal\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u2013 and management communication within the school. The idea is to offer all school employees and visitors relevant and engaging content, which will hopefully increase traffic on our internal website. This requires commitment, good ideas, and persistent work.<\/p>\n

A first step in this new initiative is to present let our Head of School and a few key members of management give short introductions into our activities, vision and strategies. The films in question were produced last spring in order to present the ITM-school to the principal\u2019s school visit in May 2018. The first film \u2013 in which Jan Wikander, Head of School, presents ITM\u2019s vision and strategy \u2013 has been published on our internal website as well as on our new channel at KTH Play<\/a>. New short videos in which the school\u2019s head’s of department\u00a0each present their departments will be released once per week. The films\u2019 audio is in Swedish, but English subtitles have been provided so that all employees at the school can appreciate these presentations.<\/p>\n

Salary Review<\/h3>\n

The school is in the middle of the yearly salary review. Salary talks are being held throughout September. Our ambition is that information regarding new pay levels will be available in the first two weeks of November. Payment of the new salaries is planned for the December salary payout. At KTH, new salary criteria have been in effect since June 1, 2018. The statement is available in Swedish<\/a> and in English<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Review of Support Function at KTH<\/h3>\n

In the autumn of 2017, the\u00a0President decided that a review of KTH\u2019s management\u2013 and operational support was needed, one that was based on the needs of the university\u2019s core activities. These activities were defined as research and education conducted at KTH. The starting point for the review has been \u201cOne KTH.\u201d KTH should provide and offer equal and unified support to everyone, regardless of where in the organisation you are operating. This is a prerequisite in order for students and employees to experience KTH as \u201cOne KTH.\u201d<\/p>\n

A decision on this issue is expected this week, and will be published on the KTH internal website under Organisation and Regulation<\/a>.<\/p>\n
