Details of Activity
The School planned to maintain a positive working environment through improving the visibility of underrepresented staff. One initiative was to encourage female staff to participate in The School of Life Sciences "Latest News" report, which started up to showcase staff and student achievements to a wider audience.
Outcomes
The initiative showcased the achievements of female staff members. In the initial 2011 'Latest News' report only 13% of news items involved female staff, however the submission highlights how this percentage had risen to 60% by 2014.
