Results shared at Tuesday’s Town Hall provide insight and baseline data into our level of workforce commitment, also known as engagement. A raw engagement score of 3.67 looks great to those of us who grew up in a graded world but in this case, it’s not a B+. Our results place us in the lowest 10 percent of similar organizations for overall engagement.

Nearly 50 percent of all employees took the survey, adding over 2,000 open ended comments that all together provide measurement and context to the often elusive world of organizational culture. Sure, anyone can differ in how connected we feel to our workplace, any day, even hour-by-hour, but overall this tells us some really important things about ourselves.

With more detail available by using this link on UConn Health Express, and to be shared by your leaders in the coming days, the infographic shows a lot about the general sentiment of the organization. Thanks to everyone who took the time to complete the survey. We will do this again in spring 2017 and we hope that more than 60 percent of you participate, express your opinion, and offer feedback as we strive toward building a culture worthy of our name and our mission.
