Has the institution conducted a survey or other evaluation that allows for anonymous feedback to measure employee satisfaction and engagement during the previous three years?:
Percentage of employees (staff and faculty) assessed, directly or by representative sample (0-100):
A brief description of the institution’s methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:
The Campus Engagement Survey is administered through a third-part vendor, ModernThink, to ensure anonymity and provide benchmarking data. Respondents use a five-point scale from “Strongly Agree” to “Strongly Disagree” to respond to 65 survey statements, plus self-identified demographic information and benefits satisfaction ratings. Results are analyzed using Top 2 Box and Bottom 2 Box score technique presented as “positive” and “negative” responses respectively.
A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation (including examples from the previous three years):
A steering committee with diverse representation from faculty and staff proposes three areas of focus for improvement at the institution-level. These three themes are presented to senior leadership for approval. For the 2019 survey, the steering committee identified performance management; connection to institution mission, vision, and values; and leadership alignment as opportunities for action, which were approved by senior leadership. Individual schools and units are also charged with developing goals based on the results of their group. For example, a theme that emerged from a school’s 2017 results was a need for better interpersonal communication. The school engaged all faculty and staff in a communication training curriculum.
