Leveraging employee engagement to deliver a competitive edge

14 October 2010

 

With the Higher Education sector facing its harshest cuts for decades, it is more important than ever to maintain high levels of employee engagement. The increasing pressure to grow student numbers and deliver world class research and education means retaining your best staff is critical to university success.

ORC International is a recognised leader in employee engagement research. Our recent university clients include University of Warwick, UCL, University of Cambridge, University of Sheffield and the University of Birmingham. uniengage, a cost-effective employee engagement survey designed specifically to meet the needs of universities and HE colleges, draws on our experience with these clients to provide the most effective and economical measure of staff engagement.

uniengage provides access to tried-and-tested engagement measures; the ability to adapt the approach to meet your specific organisational context; full project management support; and access to an online interactive reporting portal to ensure post-survey action drives measurable improvement and organisational success.

The specialist knowledge we have gained through working with organisations in the education and skills sector has been essential in shaping the uniengage approach, which is designed to overcome the typical challenges faced, such as obtaining buy-in, developing accurate reporting structures, and ensuring that the research is sensitive to the differing issues for academic and support staff.
