Engaged employees are more likely to be high performers. Here are a few ways you and the University help engage with our team members.<\/p>\n

Employee experience survey<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0 Employee Experience Survey\u00a0provides a key opportunity to hear from voices in every corner of our University community, including academic units, the medical center, central administration, LLE, and the MAG. Key learnings from the survey help shape action plans to improve the work environment, guide long-term culture strategies, and support organizational performance and growth, which supports Goal 4 (Faculty and Staff Success) of our Strategic Plan.<\/p>\n

Stay interviews<\/h2>\n

Stay interviews are a valuable way to learn about employees\u2019 perceptions of working at the University and on your team, so you can proactively address any challenges or risks to retaining employees.<\/p>\n

You can download and print a version of the Stay Interview Form<\/a>. Or, you can reference the stay interview questions below to guide your conversation.<\/p>\n

  3. What would make your job more satisfying?<\/li>\n
  4. What talents, interests, or skills do you have that are not<\/strong> being utilized in your job?<\/li>\n
  5. If you could change anything about your job, what would it be? Why?<\/li>\n
  6. How can I demonstrate support for you in your current role and<\/strong> as you prepare for any future role?<\/li>\n
  7. What might tempt you to leave?<\/li>\n
  8. What opportunities for self-improvement would be of interest to you? How will this help in your career progression, growth, or goal attainment?<\/li>\n
  9. How do you like to be recognized? What do you like to be recognized for?<\/li>\n
