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

A customized version of the Guarding Minds@Work survey tool was disseminated to gather input from faculty and staff on their perceptions of 13 psychosocial factors. These factors include: Psychological Support; Organizational Culture; Clear Leadership and Expectations; Civility and Respect; Psychological Competencies & Requirements; Growth and Development; Recognition and Reward; Involvement and Influence; Workload Management; Engagement; Balance; Psychological Protection; and Protection of Physical Safety.


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

- External engagement specialists led Positive Focus Forward workshops with the leadership teams of every department. The goals of the workshops were to review department/College-specific survey results and produce a customized wellness action plan and set priorities.
- Key informant interviews and focus groups were conducted with departmental leaders to assess the status of the wellness action plans, to identify departmental strengths and to identify systems-level issues that would be addressed by Wellness@Work.
- The Wellness@Work Advisory Committee developed a three-year strategic plan which prioritizes addressing opportunities for growth identified in the survey as well as wellness gaps that emerged within specific employee populations.
