UA Employee Experience Surveys

At UA, we are launching a comprehensive series of employee experience surveys starting in fall 2023. Our aim is to take a holistic approach to measure and enhance the employee experience. Instead of relying solely on one-time surveys, we will routinely assess the entire employee journey – from the initial job application, through the current employee experience, and even at the point when an employee decides to leave UA.

If you require accommodation or encounter any accessibility barriers while using the survey, please contact ua-feedback@alaska.edu.

 

The Significance of Employee Experience Surveys

These surveys play a vital role in understanding employee perspectives and identifying strengths and areas for improvement. The data collected will serve as a guide for our strategic planning, helping us enhance existing programs, address culture-related issues, and prioritize employee needs. By doing so, we aim to boost engagement and overall job satisfaction. Research, such as the CUPA 2023 Employee Retention Survey, demonstrates that engaged employees are happier, more productive, and more likely to stay. This benefits both our employees and the university, fostering stability within the organization and encouraging collaboration and innovation. Ultimately, these factors enable us to better serve our students, support one another, and help our diverse communities across Alaska thrive.

Background

While UA Human Resources is at the helm of this effort, the UA Chief Human Resources Officer initiated the development of the UA Employee Feedback and Assessment Steering Committee. This advisory group, established with input from staff governance leaders and other key individuals, created a Charter that outlines responsibilities for planning, scoping, and communicating employee engagement information. It's an important step in maintaining transparency and structure within the committee.

 

Qualtrics, a third-party vendor, is a crucial partner in this process. They are assisting with survey development and distribution, as well as conducting data analysis, which will provide valuable insights into the employee experience at UA.
