Staff profile 71%


The university has refreshed both the personnel and the structure of its senior management team.


New appointments made in the year included a new Vice Chancellor, Professor Peter Strike, to replace Professor Graham Upton, Interim Vice Chancellor, Pro Vice Chancellor (Academic), Director of HR, and Director of Estates and IT.


A new organisational structure was introduced in September 2010. The new structure reduced the number of faculties from five to three and reduced the number of professional services areas to ten. In-year staffing was reduced from 1,353 to 1,129 staff FTEs. This was achieved through the use of voluntary severance schemes to facilitate the re-organisation, limited use of compulsory severance and natural wastage.


STAFF SURVEY RESPONSE RATE


The staffing reductions which were required to achieve the above savings and restructuring involved thorough consultation and strong levels of engagement from both faculties and professional services.


In spring/summer 2011 the university conducted its second staff survey, achieving a very good response rate of 71%. Overall the results were positive, particularly when taking into account the major cost reduction and change programme undertaken by the university in 2009/10 and 2010/11. The results were published in summer 2011 and an action plan has been developed with a cross-university staff group. The action plan is being implemented in 2011/12.
