The Centre for Institutional Memory and Human Resources (CIMHR) is established to serve as the University’s central hub for institutional data preservation, workforce intelligence, and evidence-based human resource management. The Centre is designed to ensure continuity, accountability, and strategic alignment in the University’s academic, administrative, and human capital systems. The Centre is responsible for the systematic generation, digitization, storage, and retrieval of institutional records. By maintaining a structured and secure institutional repository, the Centre safeguards organizational memory, supports Quality Assurance processes, and enables informed decision-making across management levels.
In the area of human resources, CIMHR provides analytics-driven support for workforce planning, performance management, and staff development. The Centre collects and analyses data on staff engagement, satisfaction, training needs, competencies, and productivity to identify gaps and recommend targeted interventions. CIMHR also facilitates mentorship and leadership development programmes, employee wellness and engagement initiatives, and change management processes to foster a high-performance institutional culture.
Through collaboration with relevant units, CIMHR ensures transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement, preserves records of legacy projects, and provides actionable insights to the University management. Ultimately, the Centre strengthens the University’s institutional resilience by preserving its memory, optimizing its human resources, and embedding data-driven practices into everyday operations.
