Middlesex University
Financial Statements 2016/17
People and culture Resources Collaboration and integrity
In 2016/2017, average staff numbers were 1,962 covering both the London campus and those overseas. Group staff costs (excluding restructuring costs) were £110.7m representing 55.9% of total income.
Middlesex has focused on its ‘People and Culture’ enabling plan, which takes a long-term view of the type of organisation it wants to develop by 2022. This maps the commitments made across work force change, diversity, staff engagement and overall behavioural values, and staff were consulted throughout the very detailed planning process. At the plan’s core is the mission to always put students first, but it also highlights three important pillars: collaboration, continuous improvement and integrity and respect. These values will be at the heart of the employer brand and all people processes, from recruitment through to how staff achievement is rewarded and recognised.
There has been a big commitment to diversity and equality in recent months. There are now four staff-led forums running in the University, which support the staff equality mission and provide a network for staff in protected characteristic groups. There has already been much progress with LGBT work, including a strategic partnership with Stonewall, the largest LGBT rights charity in Europe. Stonewall ranked Middlesex 264 out of 439 entries in the Workplace Equality Index 2017.
Happy staff, happy students
A focus in the coming months will be a fundamental review of workforce requirements over the next five years, which may include introducing new roles. Middlesex is committed to providing a fantastic career experience for staff, but it is also crucial that staff are deployed in a way that most benefits students. The University aims to become less reactive to the external environment and plan more thoroughly.
Colleagues in the Business Enhancement team are looking ahead to an important milestone in autumn: the all-staff employee engagement survey.
