UDOT Employee Satisfaction Survey Coming Soon!

On April 15, you will receive an email from Gallup inviting you to take a survey. The UDOT Employee Survey is now shorter and should take 10 minutes or less to complete. We know you are asked to take multiple surveys throughout the year, but we hope you will prioritize this one above all others.

There are a few things you should know:

The email is not spam – Gallup is sending it to you on behalf of UDOT. We collect responses through a third party to protect your privacy, so that’s why the email is coming to you from Gallup. If you already deleted the email, don’t worry. You’ll get a reminder in a couple days, and you can take it then.
We made the survey shorter. We don’t want the amount of time it takes to get in the way of taking it, so we cut more than 10 questions from previous years.
We’re sending it earlier in the year. We know you get a lot of survey requests, especially during the summer and fall, so we’re jumping to the front of the line because – I’ll admit it – we think this one is the most important.
You have a friend at work. In years past, one question seems to confuse UDOT employees the most. To be clear, “I have a best friend at work” does not mean your best friend in the world is at UDOT. Simply put, it means you have someone at UDOT who you trust, can confide in, and look forward to seeing at work each day.
Your feedback leads to change. What you tell us doesn’t go into a black hole. We have taken actions to make UDOT an even better place because of what we’ve heard from you in previous surveys.
We want to hear from everyone. Gallup’s average response rate for employee engagement surveys is 80%. We have never met that average before, but this is the year! Supervisors, please grant time and access to your employees to take this survey during work hours. While we’re confident we can beat the 80% average, we really want to see 100% so we know every member of our UDOT family has had the chance to have their voice heard.

The feedback we receive from these surveys makes a difference, and leads to new programs and benefits designed to improve your quality of life at work. Based on responses to previous survey feedback, we created the Employee Advisory Council to provide an opportunity to share your thoughts directly with senior leaders. The Extra Mile Points program was a response to feedback that you wanted to be able to recognize the great work of your teammates. You have expressed that career growth is important, so we added an Employee Development team. They’ve tackled your needs in a variety of ways. They have worked hard to develop educational resources, career paths, and a robust program for leadership training.

We’ve also heard that you are proud to be UDOT employees, you know that what you do matters, and you enjoy your work – largely because of your teammates. We want to make sure you continue to feel that way. In fact, we want to go beyond being the best DOT in the country, we want to be the absolute best place to work.

The best way for us to know what you want and need is to ask, so we’re asking. Please take the time to tell us. Participating in this survey is a great way to live UDOT’s value of Caring by letting leaders and supervisors know how to continue making this organization an even better place to work.
