My Voice at IU

Making Indiana University a better place to work

We want to make IU one of the best places to work.

That’s why we’re committed to understanding more about what it’s like to work here—are you engaged and do you feel valued by the university?

By learning the needs of our employees, we aim to find out what IU is doing well and learn how and where we can improve.

The My Voice at IU Staff Engagement Survey is an opportunity to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of your work environment thoughtfully and confidentially. All data is collected by Gallup, a global analytics and advisory firm that adheres to strict confidentiality rules. Your individual responses will not be shared with IU or its leadership—everything is aggregated into a larger business unit/work group consisting of no fewer than five employees to ensure your input cannot be traced directly back to you.

What we’re doing with the 2024 survey results

Beginning in the spring of 2025, members of the IU Human Resources team began using Gallup’s aggregated feedback as a tool to inspire open discussion at the unit or department level, wherever possible.

We’re providing helpful change management tools, resources, and guidance to leadership, managers, and teams so you can work together to create simple action plans that address what matters to everyone most.

Your voice matters: 7,400+ survey responses changed things at IU in 2022

The 2022 My Voice at IU survey showed that we need to improve the climate of communication for everyone. As a result, we adopted the Performance at IU program, which offers staff and supervisors guided conversations to be conducted quarterly over the course of the year.

Additionally, over 200 units participated in action planning, and more than 365 action plans were put into place using survey results.
