If you don’t know someone who has ranted, carped or occasionally wept about the creeping administrative burden of their role, then you probably don’t work in higher education.
The recent Future Campus 2023 workforce survey found that administration was a key bugbear for many staff and a key drag on their wellbeing.
Now a new survey from the University of Melbourne’s Associate Professor Peter Woelert is seeking to understand the nature and impact of administrative demands on higher education staff.
Associate Professor Woelert’s team are seeking staff from across the academic and professional spectrum at Australian universities to provide insights into the administrative burden experienced in Australian universities. All staff are welcome to participate.
There should be no shortage of takers willing to help cast a light on the subject – jump on to the project blog to contribute.
