None
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 information gathered from these types of assessments informs the way our Human Resources office can better serve employees at Northwestern and ensure a healthy and positive work environment for all our faculty and staff.
Overall, the HR customer service survey showed there was an opportunity to enhance customer experience through:
1. Taking ownership of customer’s problems, rather than passing them off
2. Being consistent in policy administration
3. Being more timely in HR transactions
The Human Resources Department is committed to and planning a University-wide staff employee engagement survey. The survey will be taken this summer (2017), and action planning will commence in the Fall. This staff survey complements the faculty climate survey from 2015 and various student surveys. This survey will seek to build upon not only employees' experience with HR, but also employees' general satisfaction at the University.
