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

In 2019, Willis Towers Watson conducted surveys UC wide. A report for UC Riverside was compiled from that data set with a total of 488 participants out of a headcount of staff personnel of 5,126. 3,025 Staff Personnel are assessed out of a total of 4,866 employees.

The Faculty Climate Survey was administered to all faculty members.

The union employees are included here because the UC receives feedback from their union representatives through the collective bargaining process.

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

The survey is jointly sponsored by UC Human Resources and the Council of UC Staff Assemblies (CUCSA).
At the Riverside campus, HR & CUCSA have identified the most significant drivers of satisfaction, and have an action plan to address each of the critical issues. The Chancellor's Office responded to the survey by bringing together a Task Force on Staff Engagement, who reviewed the report and worked with staff to come up with recommendations and develop a plan for how to improve on the items of concern.

The UCR Academic Senate Committee on faculty welfare is the body that would work with the campus to evaluate initiatives to address concerns raised by the evaluation.
