Employee feedback is one of the most important ways UConn Health understands the experiences of its workforce and identifies opportunities for improvement.
Since launching our first Employee Engagement Survey in 2016, employee feedback has helped inform decisions, strengthen workplace culture, and guide improvements across the organization.
In 2024, more than 3,000 employees participated, helping UConn Health achieve its highest engagement score to date. Those results continue to inform improvement efforts throughout the organization.
As UConn Health continues to grow and evolve, understanding the experiences of our workforce remains essential to our success.
