About Staff@Work Survey

The purpose of the Staff@Work™ Survey is to understand how staff feel about working at UC San Diego, and about a variety of specific topics concerning your work setting.

It measures department and leadership performance from the employee’s perspective and provides valuable data for improving the work environment.  The survey is conducted biennially and will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete.

The Staff@Work™ survey is important, and there is a strong expectation that staff will participate.

• All staff are invited to take the survey regardless of their interest or disinterest in participating (unless hired immediately before the survey is distributed).
• Your feelings about your work environment can be central to the performance of the department, and higher rates of participation help to ensure that we are collecting the most valid data.  
• Units participating are Academic Affairs, Advancement, Chancellor’s Unit, Chief Financial Officer, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, Health Sciences, Marine Sciences, Resource Management and Planning, Research Affairs, and Student Affairs.

Starting in 2015, other universities began participating in the Staff@Work™ survey. This means your responses not only positively impact UC San Diego’s efforts to enhance the workplace climate, but also contribute to an expanding benchmarking study which is benefiting higher education as a whole.
