Faculty and staff members across Metropolitan State University of Denver had the opportunity last month to help shape the future of the University’s culture, workplace and community by sharing their unique perspectives. The annual Employee Engagement Survey measures key pillars of engagement and provides employees with a confidential avenue to share their experiences and drive change through their collective insights.
Nearly 44% of employees responded overall, a figure that represents professional staff members, full-time and affiliate faculty members and student employees. When looking at professional staff and full-time faculty members alone, the survey was completed by 80% of the population.
“Honest and comprehensive feedback is critical to understanding the employee experience and to delivering what our people want and need,” said Charles Kibort, director of Human Resources Operations and Strategy. “Thank you to all who took time to complete the survey. This year’s participation rates ensure we have deep, meaningful insights to act on and to ultimately realize our Strategic Plan goal of becoming the most desired workplace by 2030.”

What’s next?
Human Resources and the University’s Business Intelligence teams are analyzing survey responses and will share results with departments throughout March and April.
As they did last year, branch leaders will develop action plans throughout April and May to address ideas and concerns raised by survey respondents. Branches will identify and share progress on their action plans throughout the remainder of the year.
