People Strategy

"Culture of Good Work"

Goldsmiths’ ten-year strategy is underpinned by a culture of good work which we will achieve through an engagement plan focuses on good management and HR practice laying out the actions over a two-year period. The plan is divided into nine areas for action which are:

• Recognition and Reward
• Empowerment
• Development
• Good management
• Looking after our staff
• Hiring
• Investing in people management systems
• Equality, diversity and inclusion.

There are thirty individual actions associated with the plan. We regularly check on what our staff think though a focus groups, a full staff survey and pulse surveys. Every member of POD has a contribution to make to this plan. This year we have a particular emphasis on digitalising our processes and producing good management information, including the recruitment processes.
