In 2021, the median length of service of Monash staff was 4.9 years. The challenges brought by COVID-19 resulted in the rethinking and recasting of staffing and sustainability initiatives in order to maintain an engaged, effective and talented workforce and leadership. The University extended the hybrid working settings established in 2020 following feedback from staff and managers via surveys and focus groups.
