[14:45] Bowdler, Rae

Hi everyone, thank you as always for your input into the Team Values session last week.   Here is our summary of things we would like to do more of:

Opportunities to leads and next level up

What else can we do? rather than more of the same

Projects - that make a difference at scale

Getting bigger groups of teams together for drop-ins

Working together sharing skills and developing new skills. These could be online not just face to face

Boost morale by including icebreakers in all meetings but to tailor them where possible.

More opportunities to work across teams and get to know colleagues

Some more social opportunities for when people are on campus

More sessions around all our different skills and expertise

Engaging better with academic staff clients

Making team values visible and part of new staff induction

Yearly 'team canvas/strengths' meet as part of LEaD/DET away days

Creating a 'best meeting practice' template

Organised kitchen catch-up lunches on different days

Need more spaces on campus for hybrid meetings

Rotating meeting chairs

Edtech drop-ins

Developing bonds with staff

Feeling connected even if working remotely

Opportunities for professional development and developing new skills

Spontaneous conversations with colleagues

Catch-ups at the kitchen table

Working with different colleagues

Appreciating a variety of colleagues

Feeling more connected to the wider team

Inclusivity and welcoming differences

Taking on Digital Accessibility as a core value

Upskilling and raising awareness among staff and students

When thinking about what we could do next, we talked about engagement which Matt and Ethan will hopefully cover to some extent. But perhaps there is something about how we could engage hearts and minds. Food for thought.

Re: Olivia's team point about getting larger team to be involved. Thanks for representing the group Fox, Olivia! I found I learned lots in drop-ins when I first started my new role (within my School team and the Moodle 4 team)! If there are enough colleagues in them with confidence/expertise it becomes a safe learning space to practice answering queries in  PLUS you get to know colleagues/other City staff a little better

Mimi: It would be useful to make team values visible so everyone can find it. And to ensure that it is part of new staff induction.

Our project approach means that you may work with different people on different projects.  This means that you get to know and appreciate a variety of colleagues. As a result, I feel more connected to the wider team.

Some more social opportunities for when people are on campus, e.g. lunches or something after work (perhaps alternating days so different people can attend)

Its great the the DE team have taken on Digital Accessibility as a core value, upskilling themselves and raising awareness among staff and students of tools and technologies on offer. Checking your MS Office docs and avoiding PDF's are small things that make a big difference.

Here are two Padlet Accessibility Statements, the second might be easier to read.

The Padlet Accessibility Statement 2023
Our target is to fix the glaring problems that make Padlet inaccessible as soon as possible. Here are some items that are in our pipeline: Make Padlet boards WCAG A compliant

A Padlet Accessibility Statement created by a The University of Colorado
The Digital Accessibility Office has found the Padlet Wall, Shelf, and Map tools problematic for individuals who utilize assistive technologies (AT) and keyboard access. Multiple tools had usable features but were time-consuming, unclear, and ultimately frustrating for users.
