Colleague Engagement Survey
The Colleague Engagement Survey closed on Tuesday 22 April. We will be sharing the results and next steps in the next few weeks.
Our new survey is an important way for all colleagues to share how engaged they feel in the work they do, what they value most about working here and where things could, and should, be better.
This is your opportunity to be totally open and honest and tell us what’s working and what isn’t.
Your responses are invaluable and will help us shape our Manchester 2035 strategy as well as a range of local actions, all contributing towards making our University a better place to work for all.
Everything you share will stay completely confidential as your response will go straight to People Insight who are running the survey for us.
The more honest you are, the more valuable this survey is for everyone. So please, tell us what you really think and have your say.

Executive Director of People
Key information
Accessing the survey
- The survey will run for four weeks, from Tuesday 25 March to Tuesday 22 April.
- You will receive an email from People Insight <survey-invite@peopleinsight.co.uk> on Tuesday 25 March. The emails are being sent in batches so you may not receive yours until later in the day.
- You can access the survey directly from your email invitation (you will receive weekly reminders until you submit the survey) or you can access the survey via a link on StaffNet – you will need to put in your Employee ID number (on your ID card) to access the survey this way. This is to verify you are eligible to take part in the survey.
- Posters are available around Campus displaying a QR code that can be scanned using a smart device to access the survey online.
- The survey should only take 5-10 minutes but it doesn’t have to be completed in one sitting – you can start it and come back to it at a later stage, your responses will be saved but you will continue to get reminders until you submit it. Once you submit it you can’t go back and make changes.
- All your responses go directly to People Insight so you can be sure your responses cannot be tracked back to you personally. At no point will anyone at the University, including senior leaders and managers, be privy to individual responses.
Prize draw
Everyone who completes the survey will have the option to be entered into a series of prize draws taking place every Tuesday and Friday whilst the survey is live where you could win £100 of Love2Shop vouchers. As soon as you’ve completed your survey you’ll start being entered into our prize draw – so the sooner you take part the more chances you have of winning!
You will need to enter your name and contact details to enter the prize draw – these are held securely by People Insight separately to your survey responses.
