Management guidelines for Hochschule Zittau/Görlitz

23 August 2024

CHE Consult supported Hochschule Zittau/Görlitz in the development of a leadership guideline. Based on a comprehensive personnel development concept, the aim was to significantly improve the leadership style and culture at the university. The focus was on increasing employee satisfaction and identification as well as reducing staff turnover.

The project began with a kick-off meeting to clearly define the university’s expectations and requirements. Jens Engelke, Principal Consultant at CHE Consult, then facilitated an online workshop with a university working group to identify key topics and preferences for the guideline. These included trusting cooperation, respectful communication, decision making, goal achievement and the professional and personal development of university staff.

Based on these findings, the CHE Consult team developed a detailed draft of the leadership guideline together with stakeholders from the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences. It was presented, discussed and finalised by the working group in a face-to-face workshop.

Uta Ebertz from the FH-Personal project draws a positive conclusion: ‘The collaboration with CHE Consult was very productive and led to a guideline for the HSZG that was agreed in the working group formed for this purpose. This now forms the solid basis for a sustainable anchoring of our management culture.’
