Colleague Engagement Survey
In 2026, the survey launched on Tuesday 10 March and ran until Tuesday 31 March. We'll share the results reports in mid-May 2026.
Our Colleague Engagement 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.
The survey, which runs annually, 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 deliver on our strategy ambitions to 2035, as well as a range of local actions, all contributing towards making our University a better place to work for all.
Thank you for taking part, we genuinely appreciate you taking time to share your views.

We’ve used your feedback from the 2025 survey to shape our Manchester 2035 strategy and more than 400 local and University-wide actions are underway – you can find out more via our news feed.
We’ll also be sharing short video clips under the key themes from 2025 to demonstrate the types of actions taking place across the University. These will be shared on the Your Voice Matters hub and on StaffNet.
We have been running Colleague Engagement Surveys (previously known as Staff Survey) for a number of years. By completing these surveys, you’ll ensure we have a clear picture of what it’s like to work here. Your feedback means that we can put together action plans to make a real difference and make positive changes. In addition to these surveys, we also have lots of other ways that colleagues can feedback or ask questions, and all of this is used to make positive change.
