Mason has partnered with Gallup, a leading third-party survey administrator, to administer The Faculty and Staff Experience (FSE) Survey. All faculty and staff at Mason are invited and encouraged to participate in this survey. More information regarding the survey can be found in this slide deck.
New for the 2024 survey administration is a partnership between Human Resources, Gallup, and Faculty Senate. The Faculty Evaluation of Administrators (FEA) will be launched with the Faculty and Staff Experience survey. After completing the FSE questions, I/R faculty will advance to the FEA portion of the assessment.
The survey will open on April 3 and close April 23. This survey is separate and different from the COACHE survey. Each survey’s data complements one another and paints a comprehensive picture of support resources and opportunities for Instructional and Research faculty.
When we obtain the most accurate and complete picture of our employees, we can:
- Understand, create space for, and engage in better inclusion and belonging practices.
- Create sustainably high performance.
- Drive innovation.
- Identify areas to celebrate.
After the survey, leaders throughout the university will have access to aggregated team data and can consult with Human Resources for planning. In addition, leaders will be granted access to Gallup’s robust library of action planning resources to address any areas of growth and enact meaningful changes based on feedback. The survey results will play a crucial role in decision-making and metrics for success as we work on Strategic Direction initiatives, including investments in faculty and staff success.
A Town Hall will be held Wednesday, September 18 at 3 p.m. in the HUB Ballroom. President Washington and Mary Lucal, Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, will share the results with Mason faculty and staff, discuss related planning, and encourage individual colleges and units to devise action plans based on supervisor results.
