Human Resources People Strategy Talent Attraction Reward and Recognition Talent Management Culture and Community Organisational Effectiveness Talent Attraction Reward and Recognition Talent Management Culture and Community Organisational Effectiveness Recruitment Guidance Policies & Procedures A-Z This strategy sets out our commitment to our people over the next three years. It aims to make the University of Cambridge a great place to work, for our existing colleagues and those we are yet to welcome. It has been developed following extensive engagement with colleagues across the University, as well as a thorough analysis of people-related data. It will help us focus our efforts on the activities that will have the most impact on our employee experience and on the University as a whole. The last few years have also brought changes in employee expectations. Colleagues have different views about how they want to work, where they want to work and what support they would like to progress their careers. This strategy and its supporting action plan propose ways to meet these different needs, but we will need to be responsive as expectations continue to evolve in the coming years. A workplace that is grounded in the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion will enable us to foster a thriving community in which people can do their best work and reach their potential. It will also enable us to develop wider policies and strategies that actively support our ambitious sustainability agenda. Equality, diversity and inclusion is therefore not listed as a separate theme but forms a ‘golden thread’ that runs through everything we do. Our workforce consists of academic, research and professional services colleagues. This strategy seeks to enable our people to maximise their potential in support of the University’s mission to contribute to society through the pursuit of education, learning and research at the highest international levels of excellence. We are proud of what we have achieved leading up to the current People Strategy and are committed to further advancing our people agenda in support of the University’s mission. We have overhauled our Dignity at Work Policy to drive positive culture change and launched a new Hybrid Working Policy to enable colleagues to work more flexibly. We have introduced new career pathways and titles for our academic colleagues. We have opened a fourth nursery to increase our childcare provision. We have voluntarily recognised the University and College Union and extended the scope of our existing recognition agreements with Unite and UNISON to strengthen local industrial relations. We have improved our support measures for colleagues facing financial hardship and made additional payments to mitigate the rising cost of living. However, we know there is still much more to be done. Strategies are, at their heart, about adapting to changes in our environment. As an institution and a community, we have experienced an unprecedented level of change over the last few years. Brexit, a global pandemic, industrial action, a ferocious war for talent and the cost-of-living crisis have all had a big impact on our people and the way we work. The outside world continues to change at a rapid pace, and we must strengthen our ability to adapt and respond. While this strategy applies to all staff, specific approaches will be taken to address the needs, aspirations, and challenges of different groups. Our strategy revolves around the following five themes: Talent attraction Talent attraction Reward & recognition Reward & recognition Talent management Talent management Culture & community Culture & community Organisational effectiveness Organisational effectiveness Progress so far As we continue to deliver on our People Strategy, we are committed to being transparent about our progress so far and work that is currently underway.
