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

Bentley University contracted with Quantum Workplace to administer an employee Engagement survey in the spring of 2017. The questions were developed with the help of Quantum Workplace and Bentley University Staff. The survey was administered through email and was completely confidential.


A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation (including examples from the previous three years):

2017 was the first time in many years that Bentley assessed employee satisfaction. The Human Resources department is working closely with Quantum Workplace to evaluate the responses and develop plans to address issues raised by the evaluation.

Thus far Human Resources has identified the top ten drivers of employee satisfaction and three areas of focus based on these drivers. Focus 1: Make Employees Feel Valued, Focus 2: Set goals, communicate clearly, build accountability, Focus 3: Leverage career development to maintain job alignment.

Human Resources reviewed these outcomes with the President's Cabinet and next with department heads during the spring of 2017. During the summer and fall of 2017 HR will work to develop programs to address issues raised in the evaluation.


The year the employee satisfaction and engagement evaluation was last administered:
2,017
