Professor Robin Banerjee
On 11 February, Head of School for Psychology and academic lead for the staff survey, Professor Robin Banerjee, emailed all staff. The text of the email is below:
Our 2021 staff survey closes at the end of the day tomorrow, Friday 12 February, and if you’ve not already completed it, don’t miss the opportunity to have your say.
We will now be running these shorter online surveys twice a year, which should take around five minutes to complete.
Nearly 2,000 have completed the survey, which is run by a third-party provider called People Insights, and is confidential to encourage more people to take part and give an honest opinion of working at Sussex.
It is important that you say what you think we could be doing differently or better, which is particularly important as we continue to live and work through the COVID-19 pandemic.
It's a great opportunity for you to share your experiences so that we can collectively work out the best ways to translate your input into meaningful change for us, to make life as a member of staff at Sussex better.
I know from looking at previous staff surveys and what's happened since then, that some really positive things have taken place as a direct result of the staff survey.
Director of HR Siobhan O'Reilly adds: "We want to make Sussex a better place to work - and in order to do that we need to know how staff feel about working here.
"Data from staff surveys is confidential and we have made the survey shorter so it should only take a few moments of your time.
"Please do take the time to fill it in so we can ensure we can take your views into account."
Once the survey has closed your Head of School and Divisional Director will see the results for your area and will share these with you.
