Has the institution conducted an employee satisfaction and engagement survey or other evaluation that meets the criteria for this credit?:
Yes

The percentage of employees (staff and faculty) assessed, directly or by representative sample:
68

A brief description of the institution’s methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:

In FY 2014, we have completed a campus wide climate/job satisfaction assessment using nationally recognized tools from the Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education and the Society of Human Resource Management. We achieved response rates of 68% and 54% respectively.We participate in the Chronicle of Higher Education Great Places to Work Survey. We also conduct an internal Quality of Life Survey every other year.


A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation (including examples from the previous three years):

Due to the strength in participation and collaboration, we intend to institutionalize the annual Work-Life Integration Conference and the social activities for new hires (both faculty and staff). This will allow us to focus on four new primary goals:
1. Development of Collaborative Teaching Program
2. Development of Advanced Mentoring Program
3. Development and distribution of Outstanding Junior Faculty and Outstanding Instructor/Lecturer Awards
4. Collaboration with other Goal 6 initiatives and the Department Success Taskforce to resolve discrepancies among faculty of color and
tenured faculty
We will continue to support our collaborations with the New Faculty Orientation, Office of the President, Interdisciplinary Programs, and the Work-Life Integration Conference, but these will not be the future focus of the initiative.


The year the employee satisfaction and engagement evaluation was last administered:
2,014
