Your voice continues to shape the George Mason experience. The Faculty and Staff Experience Survey remains one of our most important tools for understanding how employees experience their workplace – what’s working, where challenges remain, and where we must grow together. The feedback you shared in the 2024 survey directly informed several major university-wide improvements, and we want to share the progress made because you spoke up.
In response to your input, George Mason launched a comprehensive staff classification and compensation study to modernize career paths, strengthen pay equity, and build a clear Career Architecture framework for the future. Your feedback also highlighted well‑being as essential, leading to expanded support such as TimelyCare, enhanced workplace coaching, and significantly increased supervisor and leadership development programs. Recognition and appreciation have also been strengthened through redesigned awards, updated tools, and more consistent unit‑level practices across the university. Additionally, performance engagement has evolved with updated rating categories, new feedback workshops, and improved tools designed to support both supervisors and employees.
As we prepare for the next Faculty and Staff Experience Survey launching in April 2026, we hope you’ll make your voice heard once again. Your feedback drives meaningful change – and helps shape a stronger, more supportive George Mason community. Visit the Human Resources website for more information.
