Turning Data Into Information

Surveys are a powerful tool for listening to staff voices and identifying opportunities for growth. By transforming feedback into meaningful information, we can better understand the employee experience and guide improvements that foster a more inclusive and supportive workplace.

About UC San Diego's Staff@Work Survey

 Note:  The next survey will be administered in Fall 2026.

staff at work survey logoThe purpose of the Staff@Work™ Survey is to understand how staff feel about working at UC San Diego and to gather feedback on a variety of specific topics related to their work environment. The goal is to foster a climate that is inclusive, welcoming, and encourages respectful and open dialogue.

The survey measures departmental and leadership performance from the employee’s perspective and provides valuable data to support efforts to improve the work environment. It is conducted biennially and takes 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.
