Dear FAS Community,
I am writing to share FAS results of the 2015 UCSF Staff Engagement Survey. FAS had a strong response rate of 90%, up 1% from 2014..
Significant Improvement in Grand Mean Since 2011
Our grand mean score in 2015 (on scale of 1 to 5) was flat at 3.95 as compared to 2014, but our accumulative .46 point improvement from 2011 to 2015 is 77% greater than the average increase of Gallup benchmarks over the same period of time. FAS has achieved significant improvement since the first survey in 2011.
FAS Moving Closer to the 4:1 Engagement Tipping Point
The impact of our improvement in staff engagement is illustrated by the ratio of engaged to actively disengaged staff. Our 2015 Engagement Ratio of 3.7:1 is getting closer to the desired 4:1 engagement tipping point, a level indicative of a broadly positive working environment.
An Ongoing Effort
I encourage managers to share your work groups’ engagement survey results with staff and encourage all team members to participate in action planning activities to promote engagement individually, in your unit, and across FAS. To support your efforts, the UCSF Learning and Organization Development department provides training and resources.
Please join me in thanking our FAS Survey Ambassadors (listed below) who play a key role in ensuring a high level of participation in the survey and action planning process within our FAS departments.
Your participation in the 2015 Staff Engagement Survey is greatly appreciated, but we don’t stop with the survey. The important work of developing and implementing action plans to further increase engagement must continue. I look forward to collaborating with you as we continue making UCSF an excellent place to work.
Sincerely,
Teresa Costantinidis
