In May 2018 we circulated a survey of 50 questions to our member charity CEOs and formal representatives. This resulting report is the first of its kind, providing UK medical research charities with crucial benchmarking data to inform the management of their organisations and staff.
Any organisation can only be as good as the people it recruits. Staffing decisions are among the most important that charities make. Over recent years, employment law has become increasingly wide-ranging and ever more complex - subject to constant change. Consequently, our member charities need to take a proactive approach to managing their employees and the working environment.

The questions from the survey are organised into 9 broad sections within the 'Explore the survey results' part of the report.
Each section is organised as follows:
At the top you will find a few bullet points highlighting key findings within that section.
In each section there will be a list of questions that are hyperlinked so that you can skip to the results of each question easily.
For each question there is an overall result displayed as a chart or table. Depending on the question, the results may also then be broken down by charity size. The size brackets are as follows:
This breakdown was only done if charity size was particularly relevant or interesting for the results.
Note: Although a total of 48 charities completed the survey, the number of responses may not always add up to 48 because occasionally charities skipped questions and some questions were only asked if the response to a previous question was affirmative.
