A reminder that our next staff pulse survey will open on 28 September and run until 19 October. 

The staff survey is a great opportunity for you to share your experiences so we can collectively work out how to translate your feedback into meaningful change to make life as a member of staff at Sussex better.

Professor Kevin Hylton, interim Pro Vice Chancellor for Culture, Equality, and Inclusion said: “Data from staff surveys are vital to allow us to drive our equalities work forward and allow us to evidence the targets we propose in our action plans so we can improve conditions for our staff, especially for those with protected characteristics.

“We can focus our efforts where responses show a negative experience or where barriers exist or are perceived to exist. There are specific questions on bullying and harassment and in response to previous surveys we now have the Report and Support tool which is a fantastic development for staff and students at Sussex.”

Our survey provider, People Insights will manage responses in confidence and ensure there is no risk of responses being attributable to an individual to encourage more people to take part and give an honest opinion of working at Sussex.

Once the survey is open, you will be invited by email to take part and share your views and your experience of working here and what you think we could be doing differently or better. Your personal link to the survey will be included in this email.

Reminders will be sent out each week during the survey window to anyone who hasn’t yet completed, asking them to take part.

Results from the last survey helped us to shape the UEG & institution-wide action plan and local action plans at School and Divisional level.

You can see what progress has been made on putting some of these institutional actions in place.

We will be running Pulse surveys twice a year in the Spring and Autumn, so that leaders and managers will be able to hear more often from staff on what matters to them.
