A brief description of the institution’s methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:
Starting in spring 2020, Seattle Colleges conducted its inaugural district-wide employee satisfaction survey. This survey is one of Seattle Colleges ongoing coordination efforts across the colleges and the district office. Select questions are part of the Seattle Colleges Strategic Plan 2017-23, while other questions address specific items for employees of North Seattle College, Seattle Central College, and South Seattle College. For the 2020 District - Wide Employee Survey, of the 813 respondents, 210 were from NSC (25.8 % of the total). For the 2021 survey, of the 641 respondents who indicated their location, 171 were from NSC (26.7% of the total).

A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation:
The survey is distributed every spring. The data results are analyzed by the Institutional Research group and shared with Seattle Colleges Chancellor's Executive Cabinet and NSC's Executive Cabinet. This data was further shared by various people with various groups on campus. A recent example of how this information is used is the equity, diversity, and inclusion questions on the survey showed the importance of continued funding for EDI at North Seattle College. The suite of questions dealing with the issue of returning to on - campus operations provided insights into preferences for employees regarding their preferences for safe return to work conditions.
