Our 2018 staff survey highlighted the need for more information and clarity on how change is managed at Middlesex. To address this, we developed a change toolkit which will help us share tools and resources and build change management capability. In June 2019 we launched MDXSuggest to gather ideas from staff about how to improve our systems and work together more efficiently and effectively. As part of our commitment to being open and transparent, we’ve used an online system so that staff can submit ideas as well as comment, expand and vote on ideas from colleagues.


Organisational and workforce development


We appointed our first ever Chief People Officer in August 2019. Mark Holton joined us in this new executive role to lead organisational and workforce development. He will help us achieve our strategic and financial objectives over the next five to seven years, as well as further improve staff wellbeing and engagement.


All Faculties and professional services departments were asked to consider the staff structures and skills required to deliver our Strategy. We developed a University-wide programme to implement their proposals. In July 2019 we completed the first year of implementation and we


have embedded future activity into plans to deliver the remainder of the initiative.


It will be imperative to embed a culture of continuous organisational and workforce development to ensure the institution continues to have the necessary skills, knowledge and capacity to deliver our Strategy and put us in a stronger position to move forward. In a competitive marketplace and dynamic sector, we will continue to drive for innovation across all of our operations to ensure we remain responsive and agile.


We have also implemented a wide range of initiatives to support greater collaboration and continuous improvement, new ways to improve performance and talent management, and staff development programmes to ensure staff are provided with the necessary training and support they need.


Trade union activities


The Trade Union (Facility Time Publication Requirements) Regulations 2017 require the University to publish information on trade union facility time annually. The Trade Union activity data for the reporting period 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019 is included at Appendix A on Page 106.
