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

In fall 2021, the Voices of Working Women group and the UMass Lowell Unions United Coalition initiated a campus climate survey for the entire university that was administered through formal university channels. All faculty, staff and graduate students were invited to participate. A representative sample of the university was achieved through broad participation. The survey is part of a larger campus climate review that includes work by the new Faculty Equity Office and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force.

The survey asked participants about working and climate conditions on campus, work/life balance, and campus career support, among others. Assessing and evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement were core focuses of the process.


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

The partners are reviewing the anonymous feedback now and will develop a plan for policy change proposals and/or awareness campaigns to respond to the issues and concerns raised.
