      VUT Philosophy: People Management
      “Achieving the highest possible return on human capital must be every leader’s goal” – Jack 
      Welsch
      •   We engage with people in a process that starts with the institutional 
          needs analysis and ends with the implementation of innovative people 
          processes.
      •   People will make the difference in achieving the VUT vision2030 and 
          therefore they are key to unlocking the future.
      •   The accountability for achieving increased levels of motivation and 
          morale is a 50/50 relationship between all stakeholders.
      •   The foundation of people management is clear responsibility and 
          focused development.
      •   At VUT we will strive to restore dignity.
