What is the project for?

Across the sector, HEIs are being challenged by the need to deliver more and differently, with less resource. This project is focused on how investment in staff wellbeing can help to tackle the complex issue of how to support and engage staff so that they can perform to the best of their abilities. Find out more: www.wellbeing.ac.uk

By the end of the project’s first year the aim is to:

• understand what is being done across the sector to support staff wellbeing
• create an opportunity for institutions to learn from the experiences of others
• identify gaps in practice and the best way to fill them
• find out how organisations are measuring the success of their wellbeing work
• prove that staff wellbeing makes a difference 

Key Findings:

The report includes some the key topics covered including mental health, physical activity, attendance management and employee engagement. Recognising that as institutions are so diverse in their size and nature, a one-size-fits all approach would not work, it provides examples of some of the different approaches which have been taken. Emphasis is placed on what the enablers and barriers have been, to allow other institutions to learn from practical examples, and choose aspects which will work best for them.
