Undertake a comprehensive review of the employee journey to Identify opportunities to embed EDI principles into every stage.

Develop a strategic action plan of initiatives which increases the representation of under-represented groups within the university, supporting our commitment to reducing median pay gaps.

Foster Inclusion and a Sense of Belonging

Develop a plan which supports all colleagues to understand their role in building an inclusive workplace and how we are all responsible for achieving equality, diversity, and inclusion objectives. 

Develop a range of actions which build an inclusive community, which encourages a sense of belonging through ensuring open and transparent communication channels. Creating an environment where colleagues feel comfortable sharing their feedback and ideas, which are welcomed and valued.
