Frequently Asked Questions

Do employee wellbeing and satisfaction assessments qualify under this credit?

An employee satisfaction or engagement survey is not sufficient to meet the campus climate or employee outcome criteria outlined above, unless care has been taken to incorporate diversity, equity and inclusion assessment into the employee satisfaction assessment. Employee satisfaction and engagement surveys are recognized in the Assessing Employee Satisfaction credit.

Example Responses
