As Building Operations staff, when we are engaged with our work, we can have positive impacts to UBC’s research, learning, student experience, and community engagement.

Every three years, staff and faculty to provide direct feedback about UBC as a workplace through the Workplace Experiences Survey (WES). We use WES to understand staff opinions about academic excellence, collaboration, communications, engagement, health & wellbeing, immediate unit head/manager, inclusion & respect, innovation, job satisfaction, professional growth, student focus, UBC’s senior leadership, work environment, and work/life integration. The results of WES help guide us when making decisions on how to improve our work environment.

The Plan

At Building Operations, we believe we can foster an outstanding work environment by working together. In order to do that with the WES results, we will:

• Share the feedback we received with all staff;
• Review the results together to achieve common understanding on what our results mean to us;
• Act on improving.

Look for key sharing activities, like:

• Our group discussions about respect in the workplace;
• Sharing our overall results, trend analysis, and highlights through the website and posters.
