Purpose

Continuing to support UC ANR’s customer service initiative to provide exemplary administrative and support services to ANR employees and programs, the 2025 (Year 3) UC ANR Administrative and Support Services Customer Satisfaction Survey will be launched in February 2025.

The first two surveys, conducted in 2021 and 2023, provided feedback on central ANR administrative and support services to help our teams identify areas where performance is strong as well as gaps and priority areas for improvement planning. This important feedback enabled us to develop in-depth customer service trainings for our unit staff and units to create individualized action plans.

The 2025 follow-up survey will help us assess current customer service quality and performance as well as evaluate the action planning and improvement efforts undertaken by the various units between 2022 and 2024 in response to the first two surveys.

All ANR academic and staff employees are encouraged to participate. Your voice counts! The higher the response rate, the stronger the results, the better we can support quality customer service. Your responses, which are strictly confidential, will be collected and tabulated by an independent third party which will then produce detailed data analytics of the survey results.
