Has the institution conducted a survey or other evaluation that allows for anonymous feedback to measure employee satisfaction and engagement during the previous three years?:
Yes
Percentage of employees (staff and faculty) assessed, directly or by representative sample (0-100):
50
A brief description of the institution’s methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:
The survey addresses nine broad areas that are critical to the professional success of faculty members: aspects of research, teaching and service; institutional resources in support of faculty work; compensation, benefits and work/life; interdisciplinary work and collaboration; departmental collegiality, quality and engagement; appreciation and recognition; leadership and governance; mentoring; and tenure and promotion process
A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation (including examples from the previous three years):
The results of COACHE identify areas of faculty satisfaction that may be showcased more prominently when recruiting faculty and promoting the institution. They will also be used to improve and enhance institutional climate and culture so that all faculty can be successful contributors of Iowa State. Several potential opportunities have been identified to enhance faculty satisfaction: mentoring of associate professors (communicate criteria, timeline, process, and best practices for promotion to full professor; promote more mid-level faculty development), clarity of tenure and promotion criteria and process (communicate college-level processes for P&T review; provide training for department and college P&T committees), along with department leadership and collegiality (provide mentors for new chairs; standardize critical policies and practices across departments and colleges.
