In 2025, more than half of you who took part in the Your Voice Matters survey told us your career aspirations weren’t being met, only 55% said you were having regular conversations about your personal and professional development and many of you (33%) felt that you were not equipped with the training you needed to do your jobs.

Thanks to your feedback in the Your Voice Matters survey 2025, more than 400 local and University-wide actions are underway.

Watch this short video to find out just a few things that are ongoing to support your career development.

Your Voice Matters 2026 coming soon

Our annual colleague engagement survey will run from Tuesday 10 March to Tuesday 31 March. Make sure you have your say.
