Staff Survey opens today!
06 Mar 2017
Complete the Staff Survey 2017 and make your voice heard
Over 10,000 University staff will be invited to take part* – whether online or by completing a paper copy.
It only takes around 15 minutes to complete, and you can be sure that all the information you supply will be anonymous and treated in strictest confidence. This is because the Staff Survey 2017 is being administered on the University’s behalf by an external company, Capita.
The survey results will be published in June, with action plans being agreed at a University-wide, Faculty and Professional Support Services/Library/Cultural Institution level.
How do I take part?
If you have email access at work, you’ll receive an email from Capita at some point today:
- The subject line of the email will be 'The University of Manchester Staff Survey 2017 – Your invitation to participate'
- If you don’t receive this email today, look in your spam/junk email to see if it’s there. If you’ve not received this email by tomorrow, contact Capita on 0800 587 3115
- Simply open the email and you’ll find a weblink to the survey and your own unique password, which you’ll need to access the questionnaire
- Just click on the link, insert your password when prompted and fill in the questionnaire
- Most of the questions require a tick box answer, however there are opportunities for you to give more full responses to some questions and make comments at the end of the survey
What if I don’t have email access at work?
If you don’t have email access at work, your manager will let you have a paper copy which you can complete and return to Capita in the pre-paid envelope. The survey runs until Tuesday, 18 April, so there’s plenty of time to get involved.
Win a £250 voucher towards a mini break
Once you’ve completed the survey, you’ll be asked if you want to take part in a prize draw to win one of 12 £250 vouchers. You can choose to spend your voucher with SuperBreak (who offer short breaks, theatre breaks and European city breaks) or Red Letter Days (who offer a wide range of experience days). We also have six £50 John Lewis shopping vouchers to give away.
If you want to be entered into the prize draw, fill in your contact details. The winners will be chosen at random by Capita, so no-one at the University will be able to link your contact details with the information you’ve submitted on your questionnaire.
Remember, the sooner you complete the survey, the more chances you'll have of winning!
£1 charity donation from the University for every response
You’ll also be asked which of the three local charities you want your £1 donation to go to (which the University will give on your behalf). Staff chose the three charities via an online vote.
Then just submit your completed survey and you’re done. You won’t be sent a receipt or acknowledgement from Capita.
If you don’t complete the survey straight away, you will receive regular reminders from Capita, via email.
Need help?
If you need help to complete the survey between 6 March – 18 April, contact Capita on the Freephone number 0800 587 3115.
