Salford Speaks

Phil - Big Thinking Trail by University of Salford

[Transcription of audio]: Hello. I’m Linda and I am part of the University of Salford. This park was one of the first public parks to be opened in the UK in 1851. The park is very much a part of the local community and is used by students, staff and residents. The University takes great pride in the green spaces in and around our campus. It is important that we take care of our health, especially our mental health, and walks around the park are a great way to do this. Enjoy your walk today.

[Transcription of audio]: Hey there, I'm Kate and I'm part of the University of Salford community and would like to tell you about why I support a future of flexible working. The pandemic has illustrated that the traditional one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work and folks should be given the agency to work in a way that suits them. Remote working isn't just about wearing PJs all day: it's good for the environment; can positively impact our physical, mental, and financial health; it can allow individuals to be present in the lives of their friends and family. Our work output will benefit if we're comfortable and able to be our whole self at work too. Technological advances have given us the opportunity to become a global community while increasing the diversity and inclusivity of workplaces by breaking down systemic barriers of traditional working. After all, work is a thing we do, not a place we go.
