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

Human Resources engaged the Virginia Tech Center for Survey Research to develop and administer the university’s employee climate survey to 5,449 administrative and professional faculty, research faculty, and staff employees. Teaching faculty were not surveyed because they had been recently surveyed in 2008. The survey included approximately 80 questions covering seven categories: resources, diversity, principles of community, communication, co-workers, leadership, and supervision. The survey results were shared widely: (1) Human Resources met with senior management to discuss findings for their administrative and academic units; (2) university-wide results were reported to the broader university community; and (3) the Chief Human Resource Officer made presentations and facilitated discussions with various university groups, including faculty and staff governance committees. The survey process will be repeated in the 2011-12 academic year, and will also include teaching faculty.

A follow-up survey focused on one of the issues identified in the broader climate survey was also conducted. Information about this initiative is available at:
