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

All WWU perm employees are encouraged to participate in Employee Engagement Surveys.

Western has recently started participating in the annual WA State Employee Engagement Survey via the Office of Financial Mgmt. (OFM). We are currently working on a format to distribute survey results to all WWU perm employees.

Western also participates in Modern Think’s annual Great Colleges to Work For Survey and has been awarded for the past several years as a “Great College to Work For."


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

As the past three years have included the pandemic, Western did not participate in the state survey until 2021/2022. The results from these surveys will be shared with campus, then compiled for leadership review to determine what avenues to take regarding employee satisfaction moving forward.
