People Strategy

5

We recognise that the success of our 2030 strategy depends on cultivating a high performance culture where our values are central to both staff and student experiences. We understand that the behaviours and skills of our leaders play a crucial role in shaping Hartpury’s culture and the experiences we provide to our employees. We are committed to ensuring that our leaders are visible, approachable, and lead with consistency and transparency, fostering an environment of trust and support.

To achieve this, we will: 1.1. Develop our leaders, at all levels, to equip them with skills, knowledge and resilience to thrive in an ever-evolving environment. 1.2. Cultivate our leaders to be role models for their own development, external networking, and collaborative working, driving this approach through their teams. 1.3. Create an environment where authentic leadership is celebrated and where passion, empathy, and motivation are demonstrated by all leaders. 1.4. Create a community of people leaders who have the competence and confidence to coach people and develop innovative and creative solutions; building an environment where staff are engaged and trusted to deliver. 1.5. Empower our leaders to have professional curiosity and to contribute to strategic projects and initiatives outside of their own areas of expertise.
