The annual Employee Engagement Survey launches Feb. 12 and runs through Feb. 26 — and this year, a friendly departmental competition adds extra motivation to participate.
“Fueling Excellence Together means everyone has a seat at the table to shape the future of Metropolitan State University of Denver,” said Charles Kibort, director of Human Resources Operations and Strategy. “This survey gives leaders the opportunity to hear what’s working, what’s not and where we can grow as a community.”
The competition heats up
This year, departments, branches, colleges and schools will face off for top bragging rights and an exclusive Engagement Champion Award.
Here are the matchups:
- Student Affairs vs. College of Health and Human Sciences
- Administration vs. Academic Affairs (excluding colleges/schools)
- Athletics vs. Advancement vs. Office of the President/Office of Diversity and Inclusion/Legal/Government Relations/Strategy/Marketing and Communications
- College of Letters, Arts and Sciences vs. College of Aerospace, Computing, Engineering and Design/College of Business/School of Hospitality/School of Education
The four teams with the highest completion rate will emerge as Champions of Engagement, earning not only a well-deserved award but recognition for leading the way in shaping a vibrant workplace culture.
Every employee who completes the survey can stop by Human Resources to pick up a special thank-you: a Fueling Excellence Together logo sticker and a snack.
Why your participation matters
The Employee Engagement Survey is more than just a workplace tradition; it’s a driving force behind meaningful improvements across MSU Denver and reflects our shared commitment to our CADRE values. Insights from last year’s survey led to updates in professional-development programs, enhancements to internal-communication tools and new initiatives that support faculty and staff success.
Revisiting the updated action plans from last year is a great way to see feedback in action. Learn more in the latest survey action-plan update in this Early Bird article.
As always, the survey results are confidential and provided in aggregate. Your demographic data allows Human Resources to partner with constituent and affinity groups to provide solutions for our diverse MSU Denver employees to improve engagement and your work experience. Use this job aid to update your information in Workday.
The survey will ask for your feedback about:
- MSU Denver
- Your branch, college or school
- Your department
- Your manager
Employees who have been with MSU Denver for 90 days or more are eligible to take the survey. If you were hired Nov. 18, 2024, or later, you will not receive a link to take the survey.
Mark your calendars: Feb. 12-26
Rally your team, fuel a little friendly competition and let your voice shape the future of MSU Denver. Together, we’re Fueling Excellence Together — one response at a time.
