University Update: 2024 Faculty and Staff Experience Survey Results
Feedback from the 3,771 colleagues who shared their feedback in the 2024 Faculty and Staff Experience Survey provided valuable insight into our workplace culture and areas for continued growth. Your voice in this year's survey is pivotal to drive our continued evolution.
A Rising Trend in Engagement
We saw the beginning of a positive shift in our workplace culture. Measured on a 5-point scale, our overall Engagement Mean rose to 3.88 which is an increase from the 3.80 reported in the previous cycle. This growth advanced our standing to the 42nd percentile among postsecondary higher education institutions.
