New framework agreement for purchases and delivery of flowers

UiB has signed a new framework agreement for purchases and delivery of flowers in connection with our employee anniversaries, PhD defenses and other markings where the presentation of flowers is part of the even.

The framework agreement was signed with Botanica Flowers AS who might be familiar to most.
The agreement is active, and it created a new directory that you find in the BasWare PM with prices and pictures of the different options.

The agreement can be found here: https://sourcing.amesto.com/Avantra/Customer/Bergen/Modules/Contract/Card/Default.aspx?ContractId=3207&search=blomster
Botanica’s website can be found here: http://www.botanica.no/

We remind you that it is important that we are loyal to the framework agreement when ordering flowers.

Employee appraisal

bakke0x2c_per_0x2830x29It is time for the annual employee appraisal. All employees at K2 have the right to have an annual appraisal with a supervisor at the department. The appraisal is important, primarily for the individual who has the opportunity to take up current issues related to his/her work situation as well as topics such as skills upgrading and career. The supervisor has the opportunity to follow up on the individual’s work and matters relating to it. Hopefully the appraisal will help enhancing the working environment at K2. In practical terms, I will have appraisals with all the leaders of the research groups at K2 and all scientists engaged in full positions. Each research group leader will not necessarily personally have an appraisal with every member of his/her group, but should make sure that the members of the group are offered an appraisal. The plan is that everybody at K2 should have been offered an appraisal during the autumn.
