This session is part of the HESPA Showcasing Good Practice Week 2026. The aim of this week is to provide a space for our members to share with each other the work they have done which they feel has been a particular success (or which they feel they learnt something valuable from), and to celebrate and promote the hard work of planners in the HE sector.
Synopsis:
At the University of Manchester, we have developed a reporting application to understand our work force allocation, and to calculate the cost of delivering teaching. This initiative has, for the first time, provided clear insight into which activities academics spend their time on, which programmes are profitable and which are not, as well as enabling the analysis of trends and correlations through visual representations.
The report also identifies additional key areas for consideration, including highlighting academics who are overload/unloaded enabling a more equitable division of duties, research growth opportunities, and time spent on leadership activities.
Furthermore, the reporting framework has been designed to support multiple levels of the organisation, with outputs available at Faculty, School, Division, Programme, and Unit levels
