As part of the University’s ongoing commitment to fostering a positive and productive work environment, Human Resources conducts comprehensive climate assessment of UConn workplaces (e.g., departments, organizations) at the request of an executive leader.

Success is built on the hard work, dedication, and creativity of each team member, and it's crucial that UConn ensures our work environments align with our collective values and supports employee well-being. Assessments aims to gather valuable insights into various aspects of our workplaces, including climate, communication, and overall employee satisfaction.

The feedback we gather from assessments is instrumental in shaping future initiatives to enhance the work experience for everyone. Employee input is invaluable, whether that be through focus groups, individual interviews, or survey tools.

A 360 evaluation at UConn is a performance review process that provides an employee with feedback from multiple sources, including peers, subordinates, superiors, and sometimes external stakeholders like donors, alumni, corporate partners, and colleagues at other universities or Connecticut state agencies. 

HR provides 360 evaluations upon request by executive leadership.

Human Resources offers Predictive Index Behavioral Assessments to interested departments or organizations, or at the request of an executive leader. The cost to receive the assessment is $500 per participant.

The Predictive Index (PI) measures behavioral drives (Dominance, Extraversion, Patience, and Formality).

PI assessments help leaders understand the needs of a specific role, team, project, or strategy.

Upon completing the assessment, participants will have access to their profile through the Predictive Index website for six months, and Human Resources will provide an individual overview of each participant's Behavioral Assessment and a team session for the respective department or organization, which highlights strengths and areas for growth.
