A brief description of the institution’s methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:
WPI participates in the Chronicle of Higher Education's Great Colleges to Work For survey, which asks employees to evaluate the work environment, pay, benefits, and other policies.
A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation (including examples from the previous three years):
The HR Advisory Group was formed as a direct result of the survey. The survey identified a number of areas where the university could be doing a better job at making WPI a greater place to work. The HR Advisory Group initially worked on prioritizing areas of need, and then on initiating projects that would help to make improvements in these areas. Three examples that resulted from this initiative include the Woman's Advisory Group, Spot Awards, and a re-working of the performance appraisal process.
