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

UMass conducted a Workplace Bullying Survey of all UMass employees in order to assess the nature and extent of their overall work experiences and their familiarity with workplace bullying. This is the first stage of a campaign aimed at spreading awareness about workplace bullying and ultimately to increase safety, respect, and overall employee satisfaction.


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 campus followed up the workplace bullying survey by requiring a mandatory 90 minute training for all staff to take place in spring 2014 on the subject of workplace bullying and environmental awareness and the Chancellor's Office has established a Workplace Bullying Committee to respond to bullying in the workplace. The Campus Sustainability Manager was appointed to serve on the hearing committee.
