Staffing compendium December Produced by Human Resources
Introduction This is the third annual staffing compendium to be produced for the University. The compendium is based on data held in the University s HR payroll system (SAP). The SAP database is populated with information supplied by employees on their application for employment form; the database is then updated with information supplied by employees in response to periodic data surveys. The latest data survey was carried out in December. The next data survey will take place in /. Around one third of staff updated their personal profile in the data survey. For those staff who did not respond to the survey, we have used the equality and diversity data already held in SAP from previous surveys for this compendium. I hope this compendium will be useful and informative in understanding the current workforce profile of the University, and in highlighting areas where we need to make improvements. This compendium also provides a rich source of data for managers carrying out equality impact assessments. If you have any ideas for how the compendium might be improved or have any queries relating to the data and its analysis then please contact Lesley Donnithorne in the Systems Administration Team (Lesley.Donnithorne@uwe.ac.uk) or Andrew Mclean in the Equality and Diversity Unit (Andrew.Mclean@uwe.ac.uk ) within Human Resources.

In, 6% of all staff were in faculties and % in services. This represents a small change from, when 6% of staff were in faculties and 6% in services. This reflects the move of some IT support staff from faculties to IT Services. The increase in staff numbers from to is mainly attributable to the employment of 6 additional researchers, taking on employment responsibilities for resident wardens, and interns in technical roles; this was offset by reductions in numbers of hourly paid lecturers and temporary staff.

In the number of job applicants decreased by % over ; the number in was exceptionally high due to the impact of the economic downturn on the labour market. The reduction in is attributable to a policy change where jobs are advertised internally first. The figures show that the success rate for female applicants through the recruitment process is generally the same or better than for male applicants. The proportion of male applicants in was affected by a very high number of male applicants for two manual jobs. In increase in the proportion of BME applicants has been maintained in despite the internal recruitment policy, as has the increased proportion of BME applicants being appointed, although BME applicants still have a lower rate of success through the recruitment process than nonbme staff. In there has been a further increase in applicants declaring as disabled.
