About the Survey

A survey was conducted in March, 2009 which polled all faculty and staff on issues related to workplace satisfaction in order to identify areas of strength and areas for improvement.  Overall survey results were communicated to campus in June, 2009 and individual Deans and Vice Presidents received college and division level results over the summer and fall quarters.

University leaders identified three categories of focus for improvement: Governance, Fairness, and Compensation & Benefits at the university-wide level and the Satisfaction Improvement Taskforce was convened in January, 2010.  The SIT has been charged with further investigating the causes of low satisfaction in the areas of Governance and Fairness. 

The official charge of the Satisfaction Improvement Taskforce:

Using the 2009 Faculty & Staff Satisfaction Survey as a guide, your charge as a member of the Satisfaction Improvement Taskforce is twofold:

1.    To obtain additional input from College and Division colleagues regarding the issues of governance and fairness and compile this feedback and additional information including best practice research and ideas about possible solutions in the form of a final report.  This information will be used to develop recommendations to university leadership.

2.    To collect and compile additional input from your College / Division colleagues  regarding specific college and division issues identified by your Dean or Vice President.  Compile this feedback and additional information including best practice research and ideas about possible solutions in a final report to your Dean / Vice President.
