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

A university-wide employee satisfaction survey is conducted every two – three years that replicates a set of core questions each time. To ensure confidentiality, the Chronical of Higher Education's "Great Colleges to Work For" survey, is administered by Modern Think LLC, a consulting firm. The consulting firm provides 1) data results at the university, college/division, and department levels, 2) results from previous years to track progress, 3) normative and best-in-class data for benchmarking and goal-setting purposes, and 4) an online action planning tool for supervisors.

The most recent survey was conducted in 2015 and sent out to 100% of employees. There was a 55% response rate: 61% of staff, 40% of faculty. More information about the survey instrument and methodology used can be found here: https://www.chroniclegreatcolleges.com/methodology/


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 survey results are shared with all governing bodies on campus and department specific findings are shared with department heads. An Unconscious Bias Task force was established in 2015: https://www.rit.edu/academicaffairs/sites/rit.edu.academicaffairs/files/memos/UB%20Task%20Force%20Final%20Report%206%201%202016.pdf A suggestion program was also developed in response to previous employee feedback: https://www.rit.edu/president/suggestions/.
