Welcome to the 100 Days Toolkit for new Managers in Higher Education (HE). This toolkit has been designed to help you navigate your way through your first 100 days in your new role. This period in any new role is crucial and the actions you take can determine your future success.

Starting a new job can be exciting and energising, but it is also a time when new managers need to rapidly orientate themselves within their sector and organisation.

Whether you are new to HE, have moved to a new Higher Education Institution (HEI), been promoted internally or moved into a different role, we hope that this toolkit will provide some useful information. You may wish to progress through each section of the toolkit or you may prefer to dip in and out.
