13-Year UC Davis Health Employee Wins $500 Satisfaction Survey Gift Card

This past February and March, more than 7,500 employees across UC Davis and UC Davis Health took part in the second annual UC Davis Academic and Staff Satisfaction Survey. That’s an 8.5 percent increase, or 600 more respondents, from last year’s survey. Nearly 60 service lines took part, ranging from Human Resources to Design and Construction Management. That number is up from 41 last year, with the bulk of those service lines coming from Finance, Operations and Administration (FOA) departments.

It’s already been a year since the first-ever UC Davis Academic and Staff Survey. Now with one survey under our belts, we have come up with some tips we hope will improve your survey taking experience. 

Here’s your chance to make UC Davis an even better place to work. The second annual Academic and Staff Satisfaction Survey is coming back February 21 – March 13. The survey asks career staff and academics to rate dozens of administrative services, based on their experiences in 2018. This year, nearly 60 service lines are participating in the survey.

The first ever Faculty and Staff Satisfaction Survey has wrapped up with impressive results. More than 6,900 employees across both campuses completed the survey, for a response rate of about 30 percent.

“Our mission is to make the university better every day,” said Kelly Ratliff, vice chancellor of Finance, Operations and Administration. “With thousands of survey responses, there’s no doubt we will have critical data to help us identify areas where we can pursue positives changes in the organization.”

We are nearly two weeks into the inaugural Faculty and Staff Satisfaction Survey. So far, more than 3,100 people have taken part in evaluating 40+ departments operating at the Davis and Sacramento Campuses.

Two early bird survey takers have won $200 UC Davis Stores gift cards. Leesa Ferdig and Kendon Kurzer’s names were drawn from the first 500 people to take the survey within 24 hours of receiving it.
