Employee Engagement Survey

Purpose of Survey

The information gathered in this survey is used by BYU-Idaho leaders to improve the employee experience at BYU-Idaho and to benchmark current levels of engagement against both past and future surveys. The survey is to be sent to all BYU-Idaho full-time faculty, adjunct faculty, staff, and administrators via email. The Employee Engagement Survey does not take the place of the BYU-Idaho Faculty Association Survey.

Survey Design

This survey is separated into four sections: employee demographics, the Q12, the Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS), and open response answers; each provides differing insights. The demographic section includes questions about age, employee type, college/area, and gender. Each demographic question includes a “prefer not to answer” option. The Q12 and eNPS are both widely used industry standards for assessing employee engagement and satisfaction. The open-text response is meant for employees to provide any feedback they feel is important.

Anonymity and Data Access

The Office of Institutional Research uses Qualtrics to send unique survey links to each employee email account. Qualtrics tracks which unique links have been used to access the survey, but it does not associate the unique links in any way to an individual’s response. Qualtrics is specifically set tonotcollect employee emails, I-numbers, IP addresses, location data, or any other personal information as part of the survey response. This approach prevents duplicate or unauthorized survey submissions while also protecting the anonymity of employees taking the survey.

The university president, the vice presidents, college deans, and managing directors have access to anonymized reports for their respective areas based on the information provided in the demographic section of the survey. The director of Human Resources and select members of Institutional Research and Institutional Data and Analysis Services have access to all anonymized reports.

To further protect anonymity, reports do not show results if any filter, or combination of filters, results in fewer than ten responses. This includes the final open-ended response question.
An annual report aggregating responses from across the university is made available to all employees and can be found below.
