You told us, we listened: the 2020 Staff Survey outcomes

The feedback we received from the last survey highlighted that, overall, staff felt:

  • The University is a good place to work (87%)
  • Proud to work for the University (84%)

Staff talked positively about equality, bilingualism, the working environment and support from their immediate managers.

However, feedback also identified areas where improvements needed to be made. This included:

  • The University’s Executive needed greater visibility
  • Communication needed to be more effective
  • Staff weren’t consulted with on key issues
  • The long-term vision for the University wasn’t being shared with staff
  • More attention needed to be given to workload management

In response to your comments, since 2020 we’ve since introduced a range of measures to improve on these areas, such as:

  • Regular Staff Bulletin
  • Improved internal communications strategy and process
  • All-staff consultations on University strategies (new University Strategic Plan; Research; Teaching & Learning; Welsh Language and Bilingualism; Estates, etc.)
  • Executive blogs
  • Review of the promotion process
  • Workload Allocation Model (WAM) pilot
  • New training opportunities
  • Health and Wellbeing developments
  • People and Talent Strategy
  • Health and Wellbeing Strategy
  • Effective Managers and Research Leadership Programmes
  • Enhanced Bangor Benefits package
