Your Feedback Matters Your Feedback Matters Campus Message
Campus Community,
Since 2015, UK Human Resources has administered five UK@Work employee engagement surveys.
Now that we have several surveys to look back on, we see clear progress from when we first began strategically measuring employee engagement. In 14 areas for which we have historical comparisons, all 14 areas of faculty feedback, and nine areas of staff feedback, have improved since our first survey in 2015. You can see our results at this link.
Your participation in this growth is crucial — it's how we know where we are and where we must aim to be. We can identify areas of opportunity and transform them into action, so we can continue to get stronger, year after year.
For example, with the help of your feedback, we have increased compensation 10 out of the last 11 years; raised starting wages to $15 an hour, becoming the first in the region to do so; responded directly to staff leaders to expand benefits and provide more choices to our people; and we are constructing more ambulatory clinics in Fayette County, and throughout the region, to increase access to care for more of our people, closer to home.
Progress is a journey. There continue to be areas where we must — and I know we will — make improvements. And we will do that because we are a community of learners, committed to continuous progress.
Thank you for trusting us with your invaluable feedback.
Lead through research.
