Universities are under growing pressure to deliver more with fewer resources.
Budgets are tightening, student numbers are fluctuating, and overseas enrolment is becoming less predictable, all while workforce structures grow more complex and more than half of institutions are forecast to be in deficit.
These pressures are placing a significant strain on the teams who manage HR, pay and people operations, especially as teaching only roles increase, sessional staff numbers rise and compliance demands continue to expand.
