A brief description of the institution’s methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:
Belmont’s Staff Survey is administered annually to all staff. The survey has been administered annually for the past 23 years. The surveys are administered electronically using Qualtrics, an online survey service. The same survey is sent in hard copy to each staff member whose work does not include use of a computer, along with a return envelope addressed to the director of organizational development. Upon receipt of the hard copies, the responses are data entered into the Qualtrics program. Confidentiality is a key ingredient in the administration of the survey. The Office of the Provost regularly administers the HERI faculty survey and the Chronicle of Higher Education's Best Places to work survey. The University uses the results to augment existing faculty and staff professional development and continuing education programs.

None
A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation (including examples from the previous three years):
The director of organizational development performs analyses and reports the results on the Belmont University website and reports electronically to senior leaders, the office of human resources, and at formal presentations to senior leadership and to staff at a campus-wide staff meeting. The Office of Human Resources collaborates with the senior leadership team (President and Vice-Presidents) of the University to enhance campus programming for faculty and staff addressing issues raised in the surveys. Additionally, the President uses the Fall Faculty Convocation and the Spring Faculty Meeting as fora for addressing the campus work environment.
