Each year during the UF Health Shands Employee Engagement Survey, staff are asked what they like about working here, and what can be done to create an even better work environment.
“The survey results continue to show improvement across the organization,” said Greg Hollingshead, UF Health Shands Human Resources Development director. “The survey is a great way to shine the spotlight on improvements in your own area and help impact the workplace for everyone.”
Our leaders rely on staff input to make improvements. The survey results provide feedback used to create a roadmap to improve employee engagement. In 2016, our employee
engagement score increased for the fifth consecutive year.
Ed Jimenez, UF Health Shands CEO, encourages staff to answer the open-ended questions at the end of the survey. Each year he reads every comment submitted.
“It’s great to see the comments and it’s important for employees to point out where we can improve,” Jimenez said. “It’s satisfying when I don’t see the same comments year-to-year because it means we crossed some things off the list and that we’re listening and improving as an organization.”

Who can take the survey?
The survey is open to all UF Health Shands employees and UF employees in integrated core service departments.
How do you take the survey?
The survey is available from March 6 to March 27. Take it at work or at home. Starting March 6, a link to the online survey will be sent to your work email and can also be found on the Bridge by visiting bridge.UFHealth.org/shands-hr.
How long does it take?
On average, employees spend 10-15 minutes taking the survey.
Is the survey confidential?
Yes. Your responses go directly to our survey administrator, Press Ganey Associates. At least five respondents must be included for a report to be generated for UF Health Shands managers to ensure anonymity. Please note: While your name and employee ID won’t be attached to any of your answers, managers will receive their team members’ open-ended responses word for word.
Why are we asked to provide our employee ID numbers?
Your employee ID will only be seen by our third-party survey administrators, and it is used to properly categorize our employees by teams.
