Staff Experience Campus Advisory Group

Great employers ask staff about their experiences, listen to their feedback and take meaningful actions to improve.

Thanks to our Staff Experience Survey, we can better understand the perspectives and needs of our employees.

Chancellor May, and Provost Croughan established a permanent Staff Experience Campus Advisory Group to:

  • Assess and identify gaps, best practices and trends that can improve the experience and engagement of staff at UCD.
  • Recommend solutions and programs to improve staff experience and engagement.

The Staff Experience Campus Advisory Group is meeting regularly to review staff feedback, policies, practices and programs in advance of providing advice to the Chancellor, Provost, campus offices and organizations on matters concerning the staff experience.

Group's Charge

"It is important for our campus to demonstrate meaningful and visible actions that we are taking to improve the staff experience."
