The survey is used every other year to gather information about the work environment, communication and staff evaluations, and when completed, it is used to compile a report that goes to the Staff Council and the president's cabinet. 

“This is an opportunity to let the community know what the staff is thinking. At a Staff Council meeting, you might get one or two people with an opinion or a complaint, but with the survey you can hear from a large number of people,” he said. 

The survey, which Daniel said should take no longer than 15 minutes to complete, is anonymous and was sent out to benefits-eligible staff members only. If they have lost their copy or never received one, staff members are encouraged to contact Daniel at (713) 743-5434 or ppdaniel@uh.edu. 

Completed surveys can be turned in to the Measurement and Evaluation Center in Room 206, Student Service Center 1 or through interoffice mail at MEC-3025. 

An online version of the survey is not available, but one part of this year's survey asks respondents whether they would prefer to use one.
