This episode focuses on Staff Networks as 8th May was the National Day for Staff Networks. https://www.nationaldayforstaffnetworks.co.uk/
Networks are all about people; they are about progressive change; they are all about supporting the employee journey and inspiring a feeling of belonging.
The purpose of the National Day for Staff Networks is to shine a light and recognise the multiple benefits that staff networks/resource groups offer and in so many cases offer their organisation. Research in 2020/21 showed that 51% of workers wanted to join a network as they returned to working in shared physical spaces. Nearly 40% of organisations relied on their networks to keep them informed on the wellbeing of employees.
At the University of Manchester we have a range of staff networks. Our 'big 4' are:
AllOut and AllOut Allies - LGBTQ+
Women@Manchester
The Disabled Staff Network (including the Neurodivergent Network and the cancer network)
The B.A.M.E network
This session, hosted by Stephanie Danson includes our current Director of EDI, Banji Adewumi MBE, Matthew Sanderson and Megan Johnston - Co-Chairs of AllOut and Emma Shiels and Lin Ma - Co-Chairs of Women@Manchester.
