14. Comparison of Workforce Profiling Statistics 1997 - 2008

15. Gender Split Across College 1997 - 2008 Since 2002-03 the College has, through its HR Strategy, set challenging targets to increase the number of female staff employed, with particular relevance to academic staffing. The data contained in the chart suggests that the College has been making steady progress to achieve the increase in the overall totals. The chart illustrates a levelling off in equality of staff numbers by gender, with the percentage split over the last two academic years being almost identical. In relation to females in academic roles, the proportion is currently at 32%, which is a 1% increase on last year and a 2% increase on 2005-06. More detailed statistical breakdown by gender can be found in the Gender Equality Scheme Review 2007.

16. Age Range of Employees 1997 - 2008 The chart above illustrates the steady increase in headcount within the College, and the changes in headcount within the different age brackets. The notable increase has been in staff numbers in the 31 – 40 age range from 1997 – 2007. From 2005-06 to 2006-07 the number of staff in this age bracket has risen by 5%. This decreased this academic year, mainly due to a slight increase in turnover. Overall, the numbers of staff in all five age brackets is at a steady ratio.

17. Ethnicity Profile across Academic and Support Functions 2002 – 2008* *data unavailable before 2002 Statistics in relation to ethnicity at the College sharply increased in the 2004-05 period and have since levelled off to a fairly steady ratio. In the previous academic year 2006/07, the number of BME staff employed at the College had decreased slightly. In 2005/06 the College employed 13 BME staff members, equating to a total of 10%, and in 2006/07, the College employed 12 staff members from BME backgrounds, which equated to 8%. Encouragingly this year, the College employed a total of 14 staff from BME backgrounds, returning the College total to a ratio of 10%. In comparison to the average BME statistics for the London Borough of Bromley, which was calculated at 8.4% in the last census of 2002, the College is above average.

18. Full Time / Fractional Employment Across College 1997 - 2008 The above chart illustrates that overall the numbers of both full-time and fractional employees has steadily increased over the last ten years. This academic year 2007/08, the number of full-time staff across the College increased by 1% to 105 (74%) full-time but numbers of fractional staff decreased to a total of 36 (26%).

19. Staff With Declared Disability Across College 2002 – 2008* *data unavailable before 2002 The number of staff with a declared disability has remained steady at 7% in 2007/08, following on from 2006/07, where there was an increase on all previous years’ total of 0%. This is a significant increase and highlights a response to the continued efforts the College is making to attract disabled candidates and encourage existing disabled staff to declare their disability

20. New Starters and Leavers 1997 - 2008 The above chart defines the relationship between new starters and leavers over the past eleven years at the College. There is a steady increase in the numbers of new starters, but a significant peak in the 2004/05 and 2006/07 periods, due to a number of reasons, including a rise in the number of sessional to fractional conversions and a number of new posts being created. The number of employees leaving the College has fluctuated over the ten year period, with particular increases in 2006/07 and 2007/08. The reasons for employees leaving during those periods varies considerably, and cannot be attributed to one particular reason.

21. Turnover of Staff 1997 - 2008 The chart illustrates that turnover within the College over the eleven year period of 1997 to 2008 has been steady, showing little fluctuation in response to new starters and leavers. The number of total staff was at an almost constant level until 2002/03, when the number of employees increased almost two-fold over a three year period from 76 to 131 employees (an increase of 42%). This continued until 2005/06, when the numbers, although still rising, began to level off to the current total of 141 permanent staff members. There has been a slight increase in turnover this academic year 2007/08 compared to 2006/07 (from 20% to 21%), however this does not match the highest level seen in 2002/03 of 34%.
