People and Culture Plan

Our people are at the heart of all that we do, and Strategy 2030 identifies people as one of four strategic enablers, fundamental to achieving our ambition to shape a better world through life-changing education and research.

People and Culture Mission

We have committed to, “create a vibrant organisational culture, based on our core values, which enables all our people to thrive, with a continued focus on high performance, staff wellbeing, development, engagement, and greater opportunities for flexible working.

We will further our sector-leading role in equality, diversity and inclusion becoming more efficient in our processes and procedures, reducing bureaucracy and empowering staff to deliver on key priorities.”

The foundations are 'HR Operational Excellence and Service Delivery' and the University's five core values, Excellence, Connectivity, Ambition, Respect and Integrity.
People and Culture Plan 2023-2026

A number of themes have been identified as key areas of focus for the Directorate which fall under three central strategic pillars:

1. Culture

2. Employee Experience

3. Building Organisational Capability

Our People Priorities

Our priorities will be delivered across three pillars: Culture, Employee Experience and Building Capability, and will be underpinned by our core values and our Plan enabler – HR Operational and Service Delivery Excellence.

Positive Employee Relations

   
Delivering a customer-focused, easy to access and consistent HR operating model and service is a key enabler of the P&C Plan

Our aim is to be recognised by employees as proactive change agents, trusted and credible advisors and an accessible and responsive source of information and advice on all people related matters.

Our Pillars

Through the three pillars of our People & Culture Plan we aim to achieve our mission and support the delivery of the priorities in Strategy 2030.
