PEOPLE STRATEGY

A key part of our new strategic plan, our People Strategy builds on feedback and actions identified in the 2019 Staff Survey. It has evolved through consultation which included a series of focused workshops with staff across the GSA which explored issues around communications, leadership and environment, our work around learning and development; equality, diversity and inclusion; reward and recognition and health and wellbeing, extensive horizon scanning, working collaboratively with the senior leaders responsible for developing the strategic plan partnership and working with staff representatives including our TU Forum.

Underpinning our people strategy is our employee voice and together with the principles of the strategic plan, our aim is that it will deliver excellence in our organisational structure and capability, align our people and processes, and support performance and wellbeing. We continue to work on transforming our employee experience, which has been hugely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and changes to how we work. Building on our shared learnings from this time, we will continue to engage and explore new and different ways of working.
