Goal 4: Grow the diversity of our staff

We will grow the diversity of our staff by:

• Reviewing our recruitment and staff retention processes and expanding our staff data collection to ensure that we are agile, accessible, equitable and inclusive in all our practices.
• Creating a yearly EDI learning and development programme for Academy staff tailored to our work areas and current key considerations in the medical sector.
• Creating safe, agile and modern workspaces (physical and virtual) for staff.

Our overall success measure for this EDI strategy is the impact we have in creating a more open and progressive UK research sector that is improving the health of everyone, everywhere.

Under this EDI strategy, our success measures of growing the diversity of our staff by 2026 are:

• Agile and accessible recruitment processes that engage a wide and diverse range of job applicants.
• Reliable and live staff data that is used to inform internal policy, training and development to engage and meet the needs of our staff.
• A safe, agile and modern working environment for staff from all backgrounds.
