Aston University-led project to help NHS to tackle
discrimination and bullying in the workplace
• It is funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research Work and Health Research Programme
• Project targets improvement of staff equality, diversity and inclusion in NHS hospitals
• Research aims to enhance support for working age individuals in healthier and happier work environments.
An Aston University co-led project has received NIHR (National Institute
for Health and Care Research) Work and Health Research Programme
funding that will support happiness and health in the workplace.
‘EDI Smart-Dash: Supporting health organisations to develop a more
inclusive working environment’ is co-led by Professor Roberta Fida from
Aston University and the University of Glasgow’s Professor Rosalind
Searle at Adam Smith Business School.
It will aim to understand how NHS hospitals currently assess and deal
with staff equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and the challenges
they experience. It will also undertake preliminary work to develop
a ‘smart’ information tool supporting NHS workplaces to diagnose the
problems they face, identify effective changes to make and how to
make them.
The programme has awarded £1.5 million in funding to 13 development
award projects in total.
The development funding marks the beginning of a substantial
investment to boost work and health research within the UK. The
research will 昀椀nd better ways to support working age people to remain
in, return to, and leave work healthier and happier.
Roberta Fida, professor of organisational behaviour and organisational
psychology at Aston University and co-principal investigator of the
project, said: “We are excited to start this project in collaboration
with NHS senior leaders and ethnic minority associations such as BAPIO
(British Association of Physicians of Indian Origin).”
“This project will allow the development of an evidenced based EDI
dashboard which will support NHS leaders to monitor and further
improve the working culture.”
Professor Rosalind Searle said: “Our health workforce draws on the
talents from across the world to provide outstanding care. Yet this is
a workforce that experiences high levels of bullying, harassment and
discrimination.”
“This exciting new evidence-based project combines the skills of
researchers from work psychology, human resources and computer
science working alongside staff members from NHS trusts to better
understand the challenges faced, the current data and identify how it
could be improved.”
