A brief description of the institution’s methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:
In 2016 the office of the provost and executive vice president invited MIT faculty and staff to participate in a quality of life survey. The web-based survey was sponsored by the Council on Family and Work, Office of the Provost, and Chair of the Faculty. The purpose was to examine the work-life environment for faculty, other instructional staff, researchers, postdoctoral scholars, administrative staff, support staff, and service staff at MIT. The 2016 survey was opened January 14, 2016 and closed in February. 57% of the targeted population responded to the survey.
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 data captured helps support and inform employee satisfaction and work-life balance programs at MIT. The work life center offers research-based strategies and information to help employees deal with a diverse range of work-life issues. These services include finding quality child care, financial planning, confidential emotional and behavioral counseling, stress management trainings, older adult care advising, and flexible work guidance.
