Employee Engagement Survey - Why Bother?

by Cindy Leavitt

We all have been pinged several times to fill out the Employee Engagement Survey and, if you are like me, you have ignored the emails because there are a million other things you have to do. I wanted to take a couple of minutes to talk about why the survey matters and why it is worth your time to fill it out.

First, we really do listen and care about how you feel about working in MSIS. Last year, we did deep dives to better understand your concerns based on the responses to the survey.  We embraced your comments and have implemented several changes.

Second, we want to know if the changes we are making in response to your feedback are helpful. This survey is an important measure of whether the changes we are making are having a positive impact in your daily working experience.    

As I interact with MSISers across the organization, I am continually impressed by the intelligence, care,  and passion that you bring to servicing our faculty, students, and staff.  I love the Medical School and the University of Michigan and feel really lucky to be part of this organization. I am looking to each of you to help make this an amazing place to work!

Please take the time to take the survey and be open, honest and thoughtful as you make comments. If your comments are actionable, it is really helpful.  

Below are all the details on how to take the survey.
