We know that workload is a major issue for staff, and we’re currently working with the University to see what improvements we can push for.
We need your input to help Loughborough UCU decide where to focus our efforts.
In particular, we’re looking to collect your thoughts on:
- What elements of your workload have the biggest impact on you and your stress levels, and how have those aspects of your workload changed over time?
- What changes to ways of working would have the biggest positive impact for you? What are the barriers to these being implemented?
Please let us know your thoughts, by emailing ucu@lboro.ac.uk, on either/both of these questions when you get a chance. Please also share this article and request for feedback with your, we are seeking input from both UCU members and non-members alike.
In addition to feeding back locally, we are also encouraging you to complete the UCU nationally run Workload Survey for all HE staff, including those who aren’t UCU members. If you have a chance to fill that out, that’d also be much appreciated – since the branch will later be looking at the findings from that as well.
Thanks so much for your time and input.
