The results of last fall’s UNMC Human Resources survey on workplace perceptions are now available on the UNMC intranet. Employees can view the results from the 29-question survey by clicking here.
“We’ve had numerous requests regarding the survey, and we are delighted to make this information more readily available to employees,” said Jane Harris, director of Employee Relations, a division of Human Resources.
The majority of UNMC employees participating in an online survey last fall said they liked their job, were aware of the university’s vision and mission and would recommend UNMC to prospective employees, patients and students.
The confidential survey was developed to gather base line information concerning employee perspectives about working at UNMC and to identify areas that need improvement. The questions for the 2002 survey were based on identified employee retention and satisfaction factors, similar to those used by Gallup Organization and Fortune magazine.
Of 3,400 regular full- and part-time employees, 1,422 responded. Results for UNMC’s workforce as a whole were determined and compared to sub group results (sub-groups such as women only, minority only, or faculty only).
“This data is absolutely invaluable in supporting our efforts to retain talented employees at all levels within the organization” said John Russell, executive director of Human Resources at UNMC. “We’re pleased that there weren’t marked differences between subgroups.”
In October, UNMC retained Career Design, Inc., a company that develops research-based survey instruments for employers, to assist with the 2002 employee satisfaction survey. UNMC Chancellor Harold M. Maurer, M.D., has emphasized creating a culture that builds employee loyalty and satisfaction within UNMC’s Strategic Plan.
