People and Culture Survey

Employee engagement is the involvement and enthusiasm of employees in their work and workplace. Employee engagement helps measure and manage employees’ perspectives on the crucial elements of workplace culture.

The primary purpose of this initiative is to identify areas of strength within UTA’s people and culture as well as uncover opportunities for improvement. By listening to our employees’ voices and experiences, we can effectively shape strategies and initiatives that will enhance workplace engagement, foster a positive UTA culture and promote inclusivity throughout UTA.

The survey features questions developed to measure faculty and staff engagement and perception of UTA's culture based on Gallup's Q12, which focuses on needs that direct supervisors can meet to improve employee productivity.

The engagement survey is an important step in UTA’s strategy to continue to improve the UTA workplace. It will allow UTA to gather input from every employee which will be used to further develop and strengthen our workplace and culture.

The survey is less than 50 questions. This is the first time that UTA will be asking every employee for input on their workplace experience. The results will be used on our continual journey toward an even better future.

We partnered with Gallup, a leading third-party survey administrator, to develop the survey based on Gallup’s Q12 framework. This ensures all responses are confidential.

Gallup provides a minimum reporting threshold so that individual respondents cannot be identified. If fewer people respond to the survey than the reporting threshold, their results will not be thrown out. Instead, they will be rolled up into a larger group so that their opinions can be heard, but the individuals cannot be identified.
