Staff Development Dialogues (SDD)

All employees at AU who work more than 15 hours a week and who have been employed for more than six months are covered by the annual staff development dialogues (SDD).

Below, you will find overviews of who is responsible for the SDDs for the individual employee groups. Where appropriate, the SDD may be conducted by the immediate manager as well as the person(s) with whom the individual employee works most closely.

The overviews apply to the 2026/2027 SDDs.
