ENGAGEMENT

Engagement is the emotional commitment of employees to their work and the university’s success. It’s a shared responsibility to create a work environment that offers meaningful work, supports employee well-being, communicates goals and aspirations, and provides ongoing growth and development opportunities. Engaged employees are highly productive, have a clear sense of purpose, enjoy camaraderie and collaboration, feel valued and appreciated, and experience a healthy work-life balance.

Boise State will use the survey results to understand whether employees feel connected to the university and how supported they feel in their career journey. The information will help the university better understand the effectiveness of internal communications, satisfaction with current professional development offerings, and how well the university fosters an environment that encourages employee growth.
