Staff Networks

Did you know at LAS we now have 5 “parent Networks” supporting eight active and growing Networks? These Networks are not only vital for harnessing staff voice within our decision-making, but also invaluable spaces to foster community and belonging.

Any colleague is welcome to join as many Networks as they would like. Whether they’re looking for community, new friends, to change LAS, to learn something, to share something or to seek support, there is something for everyone across each of our Networks. After all, a Staff Network is nothing without its members (that could be you!).

2023 has seen a shift in Networks as we have been working hard behind the scenes to get our Networks to be stronger, better supported and more impactful than ever before through new funding and resourcing – so there are exciting times ahead for our staff communities.
