A brief description of the institution’s methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:
The University of California Staff Engagement Survey was first conducted in 2012 and then again in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2021. It is aimed (a) to understand the current state of engagement of the UC workforce system-wide and how it differs according to key organizational segments and demographics; (b) determine what drives engagement at UC; (c) identify strengths to build on and opportunities to address, that is, be able to create a shortlist of actions to respond to these issues and improve employee engagement across the system; and (d) facilitate Involvement and communication with leaders and employees throughout the process. The survey was developed and administered in consultation with Towers Watson. The next survey is scheduled for the Fall/Winter 2023/2024.
A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation:
The first University of California Staff Engagement Survey was conducted in 2012. Following the compilation of the survey results, an open meeting was held to share the results. Since then, the University of California conducts a staff engagement survey every two years. Three key engagement drivers are identified every two years which the UC Santa Barbara campus focuses attention and activities on communication, retention and leadership. Some of the programs and initiatives developed to support these pillars include: Work life balance initiatives, Flexible work arrangements, Family friendly Benefits, Regular Staff Assembly meetings with the Vice Chancellor for Administrative Services and twice per year the Chancellor meets with the Chancellor's Staff Advisory Council.
