Continuing the Conversation...Changing the Culture
STAFF HAVE SPOKEN: 81% SURVEY PARTICIPATION!!
Thanks to all of you who took the 2010 Workplace Survey, which closed at midnight on November 21. Not only have you provided the University with valuable feedback about the work culture here at Yale, but you have also helped the University exceed its participation goal of 75%.
The University is committed to making Yale a great place to work. In order to do this, staff feedback is critical. The Workplace Survey provides the University with information on commitment, decision making, development, diversity, innovation, leadership, performance management, productivity, rewards and teamwork. Information from the second Workplace Survey in 2008 resulted in progress on several initiatives to enhance the working lives of staff at Yale.
Survey Goals
- Discover what workplace issues for improvement are most important to Yale staff members.
- Increase survey participation to 75 percent (or higher) over the 70 percent participation rate in 2008.
- Each department develops and implements action plans for areas identified for improvement within the unit.
Special arrangements are being made to gain input from staff members who do not have easy access to a computer. Yale staff members are not asked for their Net ID or names, and retain their individual anonymity.
The action plans based on the survey findings and results, will also be reviewed regularly to ensure that the plans address the areas identified for improvement by the survey and reflect staff needs.
