Has the institution conducted a survey or other evaluation that allows for anonymous feedback to measure employee satisfaction and engagement during the previous three years?:
Percentage of employees assessed, directly or by representative sample:
A brief description of the institution’s methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:
The university conducted a workplace climate survey to identify individual, unit-based, structural, cultural, and institutional factors that improve or worsen campus climate, so that those factors can be addressed through targeted interventions.
The data collected in this survey will be used in many ways: as a baseline for understanding the present climate, to establish a benchmark against which to measure change over time to help inform current and future institutional priorities, and to establish action plans to enhance and improve the climate in individual units and at the university as a whole.
The survey will build upon the UO’s long history and commitment to inquiry, learning, and impact as a public research university. In this instance, it seeks to learn more about its own culture and how to best support all employees in inclusive and equitable ways. The university has partnered with Gallup, an independent analytics consulting firm, to conduct the survey.
Survey group: All Instructional and Research Faculty, Officers of Administration, Classified staff, and Graduate Employees.
Timeline: Survey was completed in spring 2022.
Data was collected directly via Gallup Access—Gallup’s dynamic survey design, data collection, and reporting platform. Survey responses are strictly confidential and will not be shared with anyone in any way that might identify survey respondents. Data collected will be anonymized. No identifying information will be reported and the University of Oregon will not have access to any identifying information.
A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation:
Aggregated results were shared with the UO campus in June, 2022. Schools, colleges, and units are receiving disaggregated results in fall 2022.
Action Plan: Summer 2022
Over the summer, an appointed Action Plan Taskforce developed an action plan and timeline for sharing disaggregated results with school, college, and administrative units.
Additionally, working groups were created to focus on key areas of the survey results:
· Antidiscrimination & Harassment
· Onboarding & Engagement
· Faculty Service & Promotion and Tenure
· Equity
These working groups are currently formulating recommendations for campus leadership on actions that can be taken to address issues raised in the survey.
