About
The University is pleased to announce the 2022 All Staff Award which recognises that despite the challenging economic environment facing universities, at Lincoln we have made significant achievements in the past year as we work towards realising the ambitions of the new strategic plan. These include positive trends in UK and international student recruitment and significant improvements in the recent Research Excellence Framework (REF).
The award will be £250 for each qualifying colleague as per the criteria published below in the form of a voucher that can be used at a number of high street and national retailers. The award code will be sent to colleagues via e-mail w/c 5th December 2022 from Payroll Services.
We would like to thank colleagues for their contribution in helping us achieve our ambitions and to continue the good work as we continue our plans aligned to the new strategic plan.
