See the 2022 Staff Engagement Survey Results

Amidst a challenging time for workplaces, FAS has relative stability in our staff engagement and belonging results. Staff were eager to share their voice, with staff engagement participation holding at 83 percent and more than half (54 percent) also taking the time to write comments. Our engagement items held stable, with engagement and belonging trending slightly lower. See the full message from SVC Gore and report (PDF).
