A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation:
Main Campus Survey
Data from the survey is communicated to directors and leadership teams to help guide University policy. A survey report is posted on the Human Resources website.
U of U Health (Academic) survey
We hold follow-up meetings throughout the organization (called Insights Reviews), where results are presented and leaders are shown how to have conversations with their teams to implement improvements. Our HR teams help facilitate local discussions and implement action plansWe conduct a follow-up survey to see how many survey respondents have had local discussions with their leaders; we also ask for examples of actions that have been implemented. We talk about resources areas can use to follow up on survey results (e.g., U of U Health Resiliency Center, etc.)
UHealth Hospitals and Clinics Employee Survey
A twofold response includes, 1. We have a culture committee of leaders who review the data and identify overall improvement areas for the full organization. Action plans are then created, run through the executives, then implemented. 2. We have organizational development consultants who will meet with each executive to identify improvement areas within their respective organizations. The OD consultants will then work with the executives to develop action plans with the appropriate groups.
