Speaking Up Staff and Faculty Experience Survey – Toolkit for Managers and Academic Administrators

From October 18 to November 12 the University of Toronto will be conducting its second employee experience survey (PDAD&C #6, HR#3, 2010-11 University of Toronto Faculty and Staff Experience Survey 2010).

As an Academic Administrator or Manager you play a vital role in ensuring that the survey is a success by encouraging staff and faculty in your unit to complete their surveys. The attached document (also found online atwww.hrandequity.utoronto.ca/news/survey/toolkit.htm) provides background information and helpful tips for a discussion of the survey and its importance for all employees.

This package includes:

1. About the Survey background information
2. Frequently Asked Questions for Managers and Academic Administrators
3. A helpful tips sheet
4. Tips for managers with staff who will be filling out paper surveys

If you have questions about the survey and its administration, please contact Janice Draper (Human Resources) at 416-978-5699, janice.draper@utoronto.ca OR Sara-Jane Finlay (Office of Vice-Provost, Faculty and Academic Life) at 416-978-1855,sarajane.finlay@utoronto.ca.

Thank you in advance for your support in ensuring a successful survey.
