Hello team Finance,

Today is the day and tonight we will find out how we have done at the UK Employee Engagement Awards. We will make sure we let you all know tomorrow the outcome, but there will be live streams of the event tonight on their Facebook page, including interviews from the ‘red carpet’!!

For now though here are your weekly updates…

In honour of the awards this week we have an employee engagement article for you (you can also find this on our action plan), it would be great to hear your thoughts or ideas on this!

Our University webpage

We have an external facing Finance webpage set up by our recruitment team which we have recently updated this and it now features Emma’s video of our journey and our values.

Our accounts

Our annual accounts have now been published – and you find them here. 

Action Plan

In our engagement working group this week we talked about our final version of the 2017 action plan. A lot of the actions now have action owners, so it is worth having a look and subscribing to updates on the actions you want to know more about!

Meet the team – Directorates Quiz

Last week our Directorates Management Accounts team allowed us to get to know them a little better with their blog post. After getting a dismal 4 out of 4 in each quiz and getting the gender of the baby wrong on more than one occasion – did any of you do any better??

Spoiler alert – at the end of this blog post you will find the answers!

Charity Survey update

Thanks to everyone who has completed our survey so far – it’s great that so many of you are wanting to get involved.  If you haven’t had chance to complete it yet – here is the link, you have until Wednesday 1st Feb to complete it, and we will share the results on the blog next week.

If none of those activities are ‘your thing’ – no problem, let us know what would!

What else this week?

Valentines raffle, engagement working group
