 I have worked at the university since 1993 undertaking differing roles within Computing and Mathematics, Computing and Engineering, Education and Professional Development and in Staff Development.   In 2018, I had the opportunity to become full-time in Staff Development prior to the new structure for People and Organisational Development.  Since 2018, I have gained CMI Charter Manager status and become a qualified professional coach in the UoH coaching pool.  I am also the branch contact for the Association of University Administrators (AUA) to increase awareness of the professional body and to disseminate information to both members and potential members. 

Individuals have the right to fairness and to be treated empathetically with dignity and respect without suffering discrimination, and each individual should be given the opportunity to develop and progress to their full capability in a safe working environment.

Please contact me if you would like to discuss any issues that you may have, I can provide a listening ear and will support you in any way I can.

Hi my name is Baskar. I have worked in our University since July 2020 in the Department of Optometry and Vision Sciences as a Senior Lecturer. My office is on the first floor of Joseph Priestly building (JPS1/43) on the right hand side. Even though I am new to our University, I have been working in academia since 2003 both in UK and abroad. At my previous work, other than my teaching/research role, I was also the school representative and board member of Equal right committee for many years. I am a good listener, open minded and a critical thinker.

My role as a Dignity at Work Advisor is to act as an unbiased, neutral colleague who provides a confidential and informal service to assist alleged victims of harassment or bullying or those accused of harassment or bullying.

Feel free to email me (b.b.pittytheagarayan@hud.ac.uk) or IM: Chat with Baskar on Teams to book a meeting.
