Financial Statements 2019/2020


Developing our people


Our first ever Chief People Officer, Mark Holton, was appointed in August 2019 to lead organisational and workforce development. He is leading on the People and Culture strand of the 2030 Strategy.


We expanded our Wellbeing and Change Programme, Invest in You, that supports staff to manage stress, develop resilience, and raise confidence, self-esteem and energy levels. During the coronavirus pandemic, as many sessions as possible have been offered online. We also planned to streamline our process for personal reviews. Your Review, which will launch in 2020/21, will help staff set objectives and plan for personal and career development through shorter, more regular catch up discussions and feedback. To help us regularly measure how we are doing against our vision and goals, and to engage our people on staff and cultural agendas, we introduced an agile staff engagement tool called Culture Amp.


Our MBA Senior Leadership Apprenticeship for Middlesex staff launched in 2020. Designed to fit within the participant’s working day, taking a blended learning approach with face to face lectures, online content, action learning sets and coaching, the course is currently delivered online due to COVID-19. We signed up to the Technician Commitment, a sector-wide initiative led by the Science Council to ensure visibility, recognition, career development and sustainability for technical staff working in higher education and research.


Celebrating staff achievements


Despite the challenges of the lockdown, we celebrated our staff’s achievements with our annual One Middlesex Staff Awards. This year’s peer-nominated awards attracted more than 100 nominations from all Faculties and Professional Services, across our four campuses. We held our first ever tea party to celebrate all nominees in February 2020 and although the finalists’ dinner could not take place on campus, we continued our celebrations virtually with videos, newsletters and online content.
