The Staff Room channel highlighting news, information and key links and services for staff has been set as the default homepage for staff using Internet Explorer as a browser.

Staff Room was launched in May this year as the landing page for staff, highlighting key news and events, colleague and student successes, and updates to systems and services affecting our UK campuses.

It was launched following staff feedback – including the Staff Engagement Survey and the University Strategy consultation process. Colleagues told us they wanted access to information and key services quickly and easily, without having to trawl the University website, Workspace and other channels.

The page, which was developed following staff consultation, also brings together links to commonly used systems and services – including HR services, IS systems, Campus Solutions, the Research Information System, policy documents and email. Colleagues across the institution took part in surveys, focus groups and testing to help develop the site.

To share your news and events on Staff Room, or our other internal communications channels for staff and students, contact the Internal Communications Team. Please also share your thoughts and suggestions on Staff Room news content and useful links, so we can make ongoing improvements to the channel.
