Our employees have spoken, and we have heard
A fall 2017 employee engagement survey revealed that Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê staff members, while showing some signs of satisfaction, also experience undue stress and encounter barriers to personal and institutional success. We are striving to help.
Be Heard, an initiative of the College of Arts and Sciences, is an employee and organizational wellness program that aims to make Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê a top place to be employed and to address some concerns illustrated in the employee engagement survey. Taking this step means investing in our most valuable asset: our employees. Be Heard is designed first to demonstrate care for and awareness of the stress our colleagues endure.
