Preparing and circulating a Glossary of common phrases used in welcome processes for support staff and its regular update will raise support staff's awareness of the institutional processes related to welcoming incoming researchers, academics, and PhDs. It is also likely to increase the level of their confidence in dealing smoothly with the most typical needs and expectations of incoming researchers, academics, and PhD students as well as following the institutional rules at the same time.
This practice is best implemented in collaboration with the HEI management structures, the institutional legal matters office and language specialists.
It is also a good idea to consider having the Glossary multilingual rather than maintaining it in English only.
