Heriot Watt University Staff Information April 2017 1. Introduction and Context Heriot Watt University is publishing data in line with our employee information data requirements under the Equality Act 2010. Following guidance published by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, Employee Information and the Public Sector Equality Duty: A guide for public authorities in Scotland 1 our publishing is aligned with the recommendation (p14) to cover the following areas: Recruitment Promotion Pay and Remuneration Training and Development Return after maternity leave Return to work of disabled employees following sick leave relating to their disability Appraisal Grievances (including about harassment) Disciplinary action (including for harassment) Dismissals and other reasons for leaving We are presenting high level data on the protected characteristics of our staff groups. At this stage our protected characteristic reporting focuses on gender, ethnicity and disability. We anticipate broadening our reporting over 2017 21. Unless otherwise stated our employee information was gathered from a census date of 31 December 2016*. Where possible we have produced tables that refer to our campus locations across our campuses in Scotland, Dubai and Malaysia. This data works in concert with our other data requirements, specifically requirements linked to the Athena SWAN Charter. Specific data relating to equal pay can be found in our Equal Pay Statement 2017 21 and the accompanying book of Tables March 2017. Our aim is to create data sets that enable all our requirements to be met through one process. The data produced sets the ground work for future activities that will analyse the intersectionality of protected characteristics and tell us more about who makes up our staff community. 1 www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/publication download/employee information and public sector equalityduty guide public authorities 4
2. Additional Notes All staff refers to staff across the University including Edinburgh Business School and our Dubai and Malaysia Campuses. The data does not include casual staff. %s are subject to rounding. A census date of 31 December is used annually unless otherwise stated. Data is available broken down into Services/Schools Data presented based on all staff to preserve anonymity Pay and remuneration (by gender, ethnicity and disability) contained under separate cover within the Heriot Watt University Equal Pay Statement 2017 21 Where the tables refer to a very small number of individuals, totals have been omitted or aggregated to avoid the risk of identification, in line with the Information Commissioner s Office Anonymisation Code of Practice https://ico.org.uk/media/1061/anonymisationcode.pdf Where data refers to a unit of 5 or less we have replaced the figure with <5 in the number column/row and N/A in the percentage column/row to ensure anonymity. Due small numbers we have been unable to produce for publication data referring to grievance (including harassment), disciplinary action (including harassment, dismissals or other reasons for leaving. The information is held internally and requests to use the data will be responded to on a case by case basis. 5
