UoR View

Employee Engagement Survey 2025

Our Employee Engagement Survey of all staff returns this year, giving you the chance to share your honest views about working at Reading and what you think could be improved. 

This is the first full staff survey since 2020, so it will provide some valuable information to inform action plans to make the University a better place to work for everyone. 

It is being run on our new UoR View survey platform, which we will use to gather colleague feedback more regularly in the years ahead. 

About the survey 

The survey will contain just over 50 questions on themes including your role, sense of purpose, personal and career development, wellbeing and inclusion. 

It is your opportunity to anonymously provide open and honest feedback on what you feel is, and isn’t, working at Reading and how well your needs are being met. 

We have contracted independent company People Insight to conduct this survey for the University. People Insight are hugely experienced in running this type of survey and many other universities use its survey services. 

Its online platform – which we have named UoR View – will provide efficient, independent analysis of survey responses to identify issues and common themes, allowing us to formulate action plans at institutional and School/Directorate level to respond to them. 

We will also use this platform to run more frequent ‘pulse surveys’, to gather feedback on certain projects or issues over the coming years. 

What to expect 

Every employee at University of Reading will receive an email from People Insight containing a link to the survey on Tuesday 4 February. 

This email will come from the email address  survey-invite@peopleinsight.co.uk. When you receive this, be assured that it is legitimate. 

If you cannot find the email from People Insight, you can scan the QR code and complete the survey that way. Before you start, you will be asked to type in your Employee number, if you can’t remember it, you can find this number on your Staff Campus Card.

If you don’t receive the email, or the QR code won’t let you complete the survey, it may be your details were not passed to People Insight to include you. Send an email to uor.view@reading.ac.uk and HR will check for you.

Just to note that PhD students and Campus Jobs workers that do not hold employment contracts with University of Reading are not employees.
