Help us engage faculty and staff in the 2024 Workplace Experiences Survey

On November 4, UBC will open the 2024 Workplace Experiences Survey. This survey, which traditionally happens every three years, gives faculty and staff an opportunity to share feedback about their experiences working at UBC and provides leaders with unit-specific reports where there are five or more responses.

Much has changed across our campuses since preceding surveys and your feedback will help us understand what is working well and where there are opportunities for change.

A UBC Broadcast will be issued on November 4 from President Bacon with more information about the survey. Faculty and staff will receive an email from survey@talentmap.com, our external survey provider, which will include their unique survey link.

We understand this is a busy time, and we would greatly appreciate your support in encouraging faculty and staff in your unit to participate. Doing so will enable you as a leader to receive richer and more representative insights that will help shape priorities and initiatives locally and at university-wide level. As a reminder, units with five or more responses will receive a detailed results report.

Please support participation in the survey

1. Encourage your teams to take the survey and provide the space and time for them to complete it. However, please do not forward the survey as everyone will receive their unique link from TalentMap.
2. To better support you, we have developed a Leader’s Toolkit which you can access on the WES results and administration page here (CWL required). It provides helpful resources and key messaging you can use to help promote the survey across your areas.
3. During the survey period, your senior HR leaders will be provided with regular updates on local participation rates within Faculties and units to encourage participation as required.

Ensuring confidentiality

UBC uses Canadian-based survey provider, TalentMap, to administer the survey. Respondents will be asked for general demographic information but not personal information such as CWL login or password. All individual survey feedback will remain confidential and secure, and survey results will be reported in aggregate.
