In November 2017, faculty and staff were invited to participate in the Faculty and Staff Engagement Survey. The survey, sponsored by Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Russell Moore and Senior Vice Chancellor and CFO Kelly Fox, provided a formal opportunity to query our faculty and staff about their experience working at CU Boulder. CU Boulder partnered with Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (Gallagher) to administer the survey. 

As a research university, we feel it is important to do research on ourselves. This research will help each unit create actions plans to grow a great work environment from the campus to the college, school, institute and department level. We are working with leaders to implement a rollout of results and action-planning process in their areas. I invite you to review the campus results of the survey.

Our goal was to measure engagement through concepts such as satisfaction, commitment and empowerment. For our purposes, CU Boulder defines engagement as “a pronounced state of enthusiasm characterized by effort, pride, and passion which fosters a mutually committed relationship between employees and organizations resulting in the enduring pursuit of organizational and personal goals.”
