1. Human capital

A message to our students and staff

The Human Capital framework addresses three critical areas:

1. Recruitment
   Our recruitment processes position sustainability at the heart of joining Charles Sturt University and encourage students and staff to play their part in the University’s diverse, sustainable community.
2. Recognition
   We all share ownership in Charles Sturt University’s commitment to sustainability. Staff and students who foster positive behaviour change will be recognised and rewarded, through Charles Sturt’s achievements, performance reviews and sustainability awards.
3. Professional Development
   Staff (in particular middle and senior management) have opportunities for professional development to pursue their interest in sustainability and further inspire a rewarding culture change at Charles Sturt University.

See the Sustainability at Charles Sturt Human Capital & Staff Engagement sheet [PDF 347KB].

This framework was benchmarked with the Staff Engagement framework in 2016 and this graph shows our progress toward best practice across the eight activity areas. The below graph illustrates our progress towards best practice across the eight (8) activity areas. The green bars reaching four (4) highlight best practice and the lower bars in blue indicate Charles Sturt current baseline ratings.
