A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation:
Issues raised in our engagement surveys have resulted in action incorporated into our institutional strategies and action such as a professional staff development and training program after feedback that professional staff lacked access to professional development opportunities. Another example is the University's childcare strategy, established after staff feedback linked to a lack of affordable childcare arrangements and support when returning to work after maternity leave. This commitment was included in the 2016-2020 institution-wide strategy. The institution-wide strategy also contains actions on bullying and harassment and increased diversity and inclusion as a direct response to the staff engagement survey.
