Feedback from the E-Strategy Meeting - 21 August

This meeting is held quarterly and consists of Library Directors, Library Managers and Team Leaders.

Dr Bawa opened the meeting by giving feedback on the audit. UJ moved from De Loitte to KPMG. The number of red flag risks moved from almost 30 to only one. Other issues flagged were classified as minor. She reminded departments that issues related to them must be addressed with urgency. Team Leaders are to ensure that compliance according to current policies must be adhered to and enforced at all times.

Regarding leave Dr Bawa requested that staff plan leave in advance. Be respectful toward colleagues' position, environment and space when they are on leave.
