Mobilising the potential of your staff teams gains successfully outcomes for implementing the college or university policies. Equally, individual staff members should be recognised as the innovators and change agents central to your institutional activities. By maximising the formal opportunities offered by HR, as well as encouraging a general, broader engagement by staff your institution can truly achieve sustainable development.
