I am pleased to invite you to participate in our shortened and streamlined 2008 Workplace Survey. The Officers and I are deeply interested in knowing how you feel about workplace issues that are important to you. So please join me in completing the 2008 Workplace Survey online or at campus–wide paper–survey locations– President Richard Levin.

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 employee satisfaction, supervisory effectiveness, workplace communication, and organizational culture.  Information from the first Workplace Survey in 2005 resulted in progress on several initiatives to enhance the working lives of staff at Yale.

Survey Goals

  1. Discover what workplace issues for improvement are most important to Yale staff members.
  2. Increase survey participation to 75 percent (or higher) over the 51 percent participation rate in 2004-2005.
  3. 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 will also be reviewed regularly to ensure that the plans address the areas identified for improvement by the survey and reflect staff needs.
