Has the institution conducted a survey or other evaluation that allows for anonymous feedback to measure employee satisfaction and engagement during the previous three years?:
Yes
Percentage of employees assessed, directly or by representative sample:
100
A brief description of the institution’s methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:
JMU hired Rankin & Associates Consulting to craft an externally administered climate study. A survey was administered in Fall 2021. Responses were in and analysis was occurring at time of submission of this STARS report. A large campaign for participation using, "Speak Up, Dukes!," was conducted to promote voluntary participation by current students, staff, and faculty at the time of survey. The many communications requesting participation included flyers, emails, and website promotions. It is the hope of the university to use the results to enable us to develop programs and policies that will increase inclusivity in areas which are shown to be problematic as well as enhance and replicate programs and policies in areas which are shown to be successfully meeting the needs of the community. The survey does measure employee satisfaction.
A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation:
A committee was formed by the president's office that will analyze the results of the survey and recommend changes to ensure improvements based on responses received from employees.
