2024 campus climate survey launches March 18

From: Human Resources

The university will launch our 2024 employee climate survey on March 18.  

Through a cross-functional committee of survey and assessment experts from Human Resources, Student Affairs, the Graduate School, Office for Inclusion and Diversity, Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost, and Office of Analytics and Institutional Effectiveness, we have created one survey that all faculty, staff, and non-student wage employees across all Virginia Tech locations will be able to take. 

The feedback collected through this survey will:

• Help us understand how to support developing a culture of attracting and retaining talent and encouraging a culture of belonging and connection for all. 
• Help us understand the perceptions of employees as it relates to job satisfaction and work environment and the university’s diversity, inclusion, and leadership.
• Lead to a better understanding of the campus experience for different groups of people and across locations. 
• Help us understand how the university climate has changed since the last survey was taken in 2021.

On March 18, all employees with a Virginia Tech email account will receive an email from climatesurvey@vt.edu. The email will contain a link to the survey, which will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Information will be provided to supervisors and managers for employees who have limited access to computers.

The link is personalized to each employee and should not be forwarded to others. While the survey has been pre-populated with some organizational information to ensure accurate reporting, as with previous climate surveys, responses are confidential.  Individual data is not shared, only aggregate data. In addition, categories must have a minimum of 10 responses to be shared collectively.

Every response matters. This is a great opportunity for employees to share their perceptions and valuable feedback about their Virginia Tech experience.
