Staff Assembly

The Staff Engagement Survey, asking employees how they feel about working for the university, went to a random sampling of nonrepresented employees, those with at least one year of service, at the 10 campuses (but not the medical centers), Agricultural and Natural Resources, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the Office of the President.

“This feedback will help shape work-life and career staff programs, and support UC in its goal to be an employer of choice,” read the invitation to take the survey, sponsored jointly by the Council of UC Staff Assemblies, staff advisers to the Board of Regents, and systemwide Employee Relations.

In announcing the town hall, Staff Assembly Chair Rob Kerner said: “I encourage you to attend and take this opportunity to let the chancellor and �ٺ���Ƶ administration get staff’s perspective on improving our university. I can assure you Chancellor Katehi values what staff has to say, and �ٺ���Ƶ administration listens very intently to staff ideas.”

Kerner said employee feedback will be important as leadership and Human Resources prepare a plan of action in response to the survey.

The town hall is scheduled from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the Ballroom. A live webcast is planned; look for the link in Staff Voice when it comes in your email on Wednesday (May 22). Or find the link on the .
