Please fill out the survey! SHARE wants you to participate in the
first system-wide engagement survey at UMass Memorial. This round of surveys
builds upon data collected over the past few years, which targeted select areas
of the hospital. Your manager will share results for your work area and
will work with your team to figure out what aspects of your experience
that you’d most like to improve, and how you will do it.
SHARE leaders will
also receive the results, and intends to work with hospital
leadership to understand what they say about SHARE members' experiences at
work. We will compare the results to those of our own recent surveys, involving
members to make sense of the data, and use the results to line up improvements
that will benefit SHARE members in at work. The more SHARE members fill out the survey, the more useful the results will be.
The survey process is conducted by an
outside agency, Press Ganey. You should have gotten get an
email from them on October 17, with a link to the survey. You’ll also
receive reminder emails that contain the link, in case you deleted the initial
email. The survey is confidential, and is designed and administered in
ways that ensure participants remain anonymous. In the past, SHARE has heard
worries from members about survey confidentiality, but SHARE members have
not reported problems with the agency that administered the previous smaller
waves of engagement surveys here, Avatar Solutions (which has since been bought
by Press Ganey).
The survey shouldn't take much more
than ten minutes, and you are encouraged to do it on work time. Thank
you for participating, and helping to create a more complete and accurate
overview about the experience of employees at UMass Memorial.
