Mobilising the potential contained within the staff base is vital for successfully implementing college and university policies. Equally, individual staff members need to be recognised as the innovators and change agents that are found at the heart of every aspect of institutional activity. A university or college needs to maximise the opportunities offered by formal HR processes, as well as encouraging broader engagement by the staff to achieve sustainable development.
