The Employee Engagement Survey is an initiative of the UNC System Office to support the development of excellent and diverse institutions, a key goal of the system’s strategic plan. The biennial survey, administered to all full-time employees, is conducted by ModernThink, an independent management consulting firm. The survey questionnaire is based heavily on a survey administered by ModernThink for the Chronicle of Higher Education’s Great Colleges to Work For project, with input from the UNC System Office and representatives of each campus. Topics covered in the survey include, e.g., job satisfaction and support; professional development; mission and pride; confidence in senior leadership; communication; and diversity, inclusion and well-being.

More information about the Employee Engagement Survey is available on the NC State University Human Resources website for the project.

Using aggregate data provided by ModernThink, NC State’s Institutional Strategy and Analysis office prepares reports summarizing key finding, and creates tables with results for NC State overall and broken out by demographic groups, as well as with trend and peer comparisons.
