Workplace surveys provide an opportunity for faculty and staff to share their workplace experiences at UBC.
Your feedback offers insight into our progress to make UBC a more diverse, inclusive, safe and vibrant workplace.
Remote Work Survey
All faculty and staff, whether you work remotely/hybrid or on-site, were invited to participate in this survey from May 2-10, 2022.
Feedback in this survey will help the university consider how future work arrangements will continue to make UBC an inspiring place for students to learn, and for faculty and staff to research, teach and work. Results can also be used by Deans and VPs understand experiences at the portfolio/Faculty level.
Creating a flexible workplace environment through the Remote Work program supports a range of UBC’s institutional goals, including the attraction and retention of faculty and staff, as well as our commitments to inclusion, wellbeing, and climate action.
