About the survey

Introduced at the start of the pandemic to understand staff experience of work and wellbeing, this survey has become a key listening tool helping to shape the University’s approach during the pandemic and beyond.

The surveys have provided valuable data to inform senior leadership decisions, provide longitudinal data to track trends and benchmark data to assess against national standards.

We’ve been listening

Examples of some of the changes we’ve made in response to your feedback: 

  • The introduction of fortnightly updates from the Vice-Chancellor and Town Halls to keep you up to date with what is going on. 

  • As the second wave of the virus began, we also created new Covid-19 information web pages with the brief of making the information as easy to navigate as possible. 

  • We’ve implemented a host of safety measure to make campus Covid-secure to reassure colleagues about returning to work.

  • For wellbeing support, we have expanded our network of Wellbeing Champions. There are now over 30 champions trained and in post to signpost staff to support. We’ve continued to promote and signpost wellbeing resources. 

  • Summer at Bath was launched including activities for staff to create opportunities to re-connect with colleagues on campus.  

  • To address issues around workload, we developed a new resource pack with support and guidance to help address workload issues.

  • We launched the Management Curriculum to further support staff including ‘Managing People’ and ‘Confident Conversations’. 

  • The Future Ways of Working project was implemented for professional services staff with office-based roles to reimagine how we work, and explore what this could look like at Bath. 

  • Resources have been brought together in a Future Ways of Working topic page which will continue to be built on as our learning grows.
