Every other year, the Council of UC Staff Assemblies (CUCSA) sends an engagement survey to a randomly selected group of non-represented UC staff. The results are now in and will be announced soon at your location (if they haven’t already). That makes October a perfect month to talk about how to boost engagement — yours and your team’s.
You don’t need to be a people manager to care about and nurture engagement. Whatever your role, you’ll benefit from working with people who are interested in and committed to their job and company. And, you have an obligation to yourself to find meaning in your professional life.
