The third faculty and staff employee survey closed November 14 achieving a 50% response rate, on par with the previous editions sent in 2006 and 2010.

“We were very pleased with the participation,” noted Meredith Sandles, one of the survey project leads. “We believe that the Divisions will have a lot of information to review and consider for their future plans.”

Administered by Ipsos Reid, survey questions covered a range of topics including: leadership and management, work design, performance and recognition, safety, tools and resources, communications, diversity and equity, growth and development, cooperation and collegiality, and workload and balance.

The U of T project team is currently working on plans to rollout each division’s results to start in March. Each Division will then be able to develop action plans to address survey findings.
