2030 challenges
and opportunities

Starting from a positive place but with room to improve

In 2023, Universities UK is seen as an influential and important organisation with a satisfied membership. However, there are opportunities to build greater connection with the full diversity of our membership to better represent their interests.

UUK generally has comparable levels of staff satisfaction to similar organisations, but there is room for improvement, particularly in how we work across departments and offices and in providing opportunities for staff to progress and develop. And as the world changes we will need to change with it; adapting our ways of working to meet the needs of future staff.
