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.
