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 engagement survey<\/h2>\n

Staff in a number of departments participate in the Press Ganey Employee Engagement Survey every 18 months. The survey gives all staff an opportunity to provide input in a structured, confidential manner. Managers and leaders get valuable insight into what is going well for employees and where there\u2019s an opportunity to improve.<\/p>\n

A formal action planning process helps the team identify where to focus and how to become ever better.<\/p>\n

If your department hasn\u2019t participated in the past but would like to – welcome! Congratulations on taking an important first step towards increasing your department\u2019s engagement. The head of the department can contact their HR Business Partner to discuss next steps.<\/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

    \n
  1. What do you look forward to at work each day?<\/li>\n
  2. What accomplishments from the past year are you most proud of? Why?<\/li>\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
  10. What ideas do you have to improve our work environment and culture?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
