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

his survey was open to all employees at Mohawk College between August 24th and September
21st, 2020. The link to the survey was distributed by e-mail twice, originally on August 24th and a
reminder on September 14th. In total, 1,098 employee completed the survey for a 66.5%
participation rate. This is considered a good participation rate and is comparable to the 2018
Employee Engagement Survey which had a 62.7% participation rate.
Demographically, the breakdown by employee group appears to be similar to the actual
breakdown, where 41% are Academic staff, 33% are Support staff, and 25% are Administrative
staff.


A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation:

Mohawk College uses the employee satisfaction/engagement survey to continually improve employee satisfaction across all departments. Survey results are shared with senior leadership and segregated to show specific results in departments with more than 15 employees so response remain nondiscript. Respective leaders address each aspect of the survey results in an inclusive and professional way.

Examples include:
- Improved performance evaluation process
- Access to more professional development opportunities
- Employee onboarding process more robust
- More opportunities for employee collaboration across departments
- Employee specific benefits such as discounts, amenities and team building events
