A brief description of the institution’s methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:
The last formal employee satisfaction survey took place in 2012, which is too old to qualify for this credit. http://www4.uwm.edu/assets/ux/bestplacetowork/v2/Univ-of-Wisconsin-Milwaukee-Topline-Survey-Results-Extracted.pdf The current means of employee satisfaction and engagement occurring at UW-Milwaukee revolve around the intense engagement, listening sessions and feedback to handle the large budget cut handed down by the state. UW-Milwaukee has held a very open, representative series of committees and sessions to hear from the campus faculty, staff, and students regarding institutional strategies to make the $30 million cuts over a two year period, while also unable to raise tuition. While not a formal survey, feedback sessions and anonymous online input from the whole campus has come through during this process.
