One of the categories evaluated in the Employee Engagement Survey referred to the "UT System." The questions in this area include:

* I have colleagues or peers who give me career advice or guidance when I need it. (71%)
* People in my department value my work. (72%)
* I understand the performance standards that apply to my job and work. (79%)
* I understand pay policies that apply to me. (70%)
* I understand how merit increases are determined. (53%)
* This institute has taken steps to enhance the climate for racial/ethnic minority administrators/staff. (72%)
* I would rate my institute as a very good pace for individuals from an underrepresented (non-majority) identity group. (66%)
* I understand the UT System's role in supporting individual campuses and institutes. (64%)
*The UT System communicates system-wide news and policies effectively. (69%)
* The UT System provides adequate support to this campus. (63%)

The number in parentheses indicates the percent of respondents who either agreed or strongly agreed with this statement. The overall score in this category was 67% positive and 10% negative.

Employees who were most satisfied in this area are either those who (1) are 60-64 year of age, (2) have been here four or fewer years, or (3) expect to stay 3-5 years.

The Employee Relations Committee and the HR Strategy Team will be analyzing the data further to determine specific things we can do to improve policies, resources and efficiency.
