Employee Experience Survey Thank You for Participating
Survey closed June 2
Why This Survey
At UC Davis and UC Davis Health, your experience matters.
Listening is more important than ever. When you share honest feedback, we listen, learn, and take actions that improve the workplace and advance our missions—together.
When you feel heard, valued and supported, your experience improves—from greater well-being to stronger team connections— and everyone benefits.
As leading academic institutions, UC Davis Health and the Davis campus rely on data to make informed decisions that foster the best possible workplace for our employees.
The Employee Experience Survey is a key part of this effort, offering you the opportunity to share your feedback, highlight what’s working, and identify areas for improvement.
Your feedback has led to real change.

Survey Details
- Previously known as the Staff Experience Survey on the Davis campus and the CommUNITY Feedback Survey at UC Davis Health, this survey is now a single, unified effort across both campuses. While the survey will be the same, the actions taken afterward will be tailored to each campus's unique needs.
Questions
26 core-based questions designed for you to share your own views around:
- Belonging
- Teamwork
- Your satisfaction
Additional role-based questions will be asked for some UC Davis Health positions.
Population
- Career staff, limited/partial-year appts/per diem/contract
- Represented and policy-covered (non-rep) staff
- UC Davis Health: Academic and staff physicians
Confidentiality
We need your honest feedback—both positive and negative—which is why we use a third-party vendor, Press Ganey, and take strong measures to protect your confidentiality.
