The university is running a number of virtual workshops to help line managers and leaders navigate their way through and share results of the upcoming People and Culture Survey.

Workshops have been designed to build on people’s current knowledge of themselves, their teams and the university, encompassing analytics, insights and action.

We will be reviewing, reflecting and working through various models and practical approaches to connecting data, insights and people. The workshops will refer to thought leaders including Simon Sinek, Paul Hershey, Ken Blanchard and Brian R Little, to name a few.

Who are these high-impact workshops for?

If you manage a team at the university, we have developed four virtual workshops to support you as part of a refreshed approach to how we listen to our teams and colleagues.

We have partnered with People Insight, an external research and insight company, to enable us to receive and respond to feedback from our departments in real-time.

We want to make sure that people have the knowledge, information and tools to develop and enhance their leadership and management skills and support our mission to build a culture of success.

Workshops will begin on Tuesday 2 May 2023 and will finish on Friday 26 May 2023. They will prepare people for managing the survey results once they are live and enable line managers and leaders to act on the results.
