A brief description of the institution’s methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:
Rice participates in the Houston Business Journal’s annual survey that asks questions evaluating a variety of workplace topics, including teamwork, retention risk, alignment with goals, trust with co-workers, individual contribution, manager effectiveness, trust in senior leaders, feeling valued, job satisfaction and benefits. The assessment is completely anonymous, but Rice’s Human Resources Department receives a summary of the results, including comments.
Employees can also provide feedback about working at Rice during two town hall meetings hosted each year by the president of the university. They are welcome to submit questions prior to or during these meetings.
A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation (including examples from the previous three years):
Rice analyzes the data and responds as necessary. For example, the Human Resources department developed a management development plan called TEAMS (Training Enables a Manager's Success), which is designed to promote and encourage leadership and development. TEAMS consists of both operational and leadership-focused sessions with engaged coaching and mentoring to participants by their supervisors and other leaders at the university. The program’s inception was in response to survey results.
The year the employee satisfaction and engagement evaluation was last administered:
