A big thank you to all our colleagues who made this possible. As @RachelSandison said today as University Sanctuary Champion, this is not a point of arrival - it’s a challenge for us to do even more in future. @sabir_zazai @alison_phipps

Delighted to be awarded @UniofSanctuary status in recognition of our commitment to supporting people who have experienced forced migration.

Why do people stay at a job? 💰 isn’t enough. Meaning matters
60% of meaningfulness at work comes from non-economic factors: autonomy (that one has choices & authority over tasks), competence (a feeling of mastery), and relatedness (connection to others). docs.iza.org/dp13112.pdf
