Your Voice Matters – And We’re Listening!
Last year, 43% of our staff shared their thoughts through the Perch Perspective survey, giving us invaluable insights into what’s working well—and where we can grow. Your feedback plays a key role in shaping Rice’s workplace culture, and we’re truly grateful to everyone who took the time to speak up. Thank you!
This year, we’re making it even easier to share your voice. The Perch Perspective is evolving from one longer, annual survey into two shorter, more focused surveys—one in the spring and one in the fall.
-
Spring Survey – Tell us about your overall experience working at Rice, sense of belonging and satisfaction.
-
Fall Survey – Share your perspective on your department’s work environment, compensation and benefits, and your job.
This approach is intended to allow us to hear from you more frequently, analyze and share the data quicker, and with that, ensure we make meaningful changes and continue doing what we already do well, to better support your day-to-day experience.
Your perspective matters, and we encourage you to participate in this crucial initiative.
