WES Reports and Action Planning Toolkits

In February 2025, portfolio-level insights reports will be shared with the UBC Executive Leadership team, and unit-level insights reports will be distributed to the respective senior HR leaders. A unit-level report is generated for each unit with 5 or more responses. 

Curious about your unit’s results? Please connect with your local HR contact to learn more once the results are made available in early-2025. 

Unit-level insights reports are recommended to be shared with faculty and/or staff in your portfolio. Present it at a regular department meeting and use it to start a discussion. Action planning conversation guides and leader toolkits will be available in early-2025.

COMING SOON!
