WE SPEAK: Faculty & Staff Survey 2020

What is engagement and why does it matter?
Employee engagement is "a positive, fulfilling, work-related state of mind that is characterized by vigour, dedication, and absorption." (Wilman Schaufeli, Utrecht University).
According to Western Professor John Meyer (Industrial and Organization Psychology), engagement matters because engaged employees are willing to go above and beyond, they are more effective, are absent less often, and are more likely to stay longer. Importantly, engagement also relates positively to employees' own physical and psychological well-being.
Western is committed to making our university the very best place to work and you have an important role in making that happen. Your voice matters.
