Here is a summary of the All employee meeting (AEM) with Sonja Berlijn where she talked about the premises project and the clean-up of e-mail aliases. Mikael Visén from HR visited to talk about the new, digital system for reporting incidents.

Sonja began by going through her standing point Health, Environment and Safety (HSE). She told us about the Swedish Work Environment Authority visit, which gave us a good grade. On 15 November, there is a workshop on how we can improve our work environment.

Sonja also announced that the school is immediately looking for new safety representatives. More information about that recruitment will be available on the intranet.

New Head of administration

On 1 December, the school's new Head of Administration head, Joakim Palestro, begins - a warm welcome!

Joakim has a background in the industry, academia and the National Agency for Higher Education.

Streamlining our premises

Sonja also told more about the local project that is currently underway. It consists of several initiatives. For example, how to get the most out of our premises and become a digital and attractive workplace.

At EECS, the project about opportunities to work remotely and the placement of the professional support will start soon. 

Lars Nordström  will lead the Campus Kista project, which deals with many complex issues concerning premises, the Electrum laboratory, education and our collaboration in Kista.

See the meeting presentation for more information about the premises project.

Easier to report incidents, risks and occupational injuries digitally

Mikael Visén , an HR officer at the university administration (GVS), visited to inform about the new IA system for digitally reporting incidents, risks, and occupational injuries. He pointed out that it is important that we report, that is the only way we can prevent and learn.

Clean-up of e-mail domains and aliases

Sonja informed about the president's decision to remove all e-mail addresses that do not belong to the domain @kth.se.

EECS' Winter conference
