The interactive chart below is designed to direct you to the various resources available within NDM and the University.Use the chart to guide you in thinking about all the different aspects of your work and home life and identify what is important to you and what could be improved.

If you have concerns about your role and workload, then you can use the chart to find information on how to address this, for example in your personal development review meeting with your group leader/ line manager. Similarly, if you feel that your work-life balance is impacting on your personal life then the chart will direct you to information on a variety of solutions, including; flexible working policies and personal wellbeing services.
