Ducks Engage
Employee engagement is a journey—join us!
At the University of Oregon, every faculty and staff member, graduate employee, and administrator should feel supported, valued, and equipped to do their best work. Employee engagement is a research-validated model that measures these things, and it is a key part of the university's strategic goal of creating a flourishing community.
The more engaged employees are, the more likely they are to:
- Be happy in their jobs and report a high degree of professional well-being.
- Serve students and others effectively.
- Collaborate productively with colleagues.
Engagement might look different for each of us, but engagement is everyone's responsibility, from senior leadership to department head and supervisors to teams and individuals.

“At its heart, flourishing is about creating the conditions for each member of our community to reach their full potential. We all share the responsibility to deepen our connections with one another and to establish meaningful relationships and thoughtful institutional policies and practices that empower everyone at the university to do their best work so they can be their best selves.”
-Provost Christopher P. Long
