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

This survey is being administered to all UNLV employees.

This survey is anonymous, and the identity of survey participants will not be linked to individual responses. Researchers will not be able to match a participant’s answers with his/her name or identity. However, demographic information will be collected in order to extrapolate the specific views of subpopulations of employees, including women, racial and ethnic minorities, persons living with a disability, and gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender employees.

On Nov. 7, 2012, President Neal Smatresk sent the announcement below that established the Full Participation Committee:
