The Survey of Employee Experience (SEE) aims to provide a true reflection of the employee's experience within the UFS working environment, with the intention to provide information on employee engagement, satisfaction and well-being. This research is being done to better improve the policies, procedures and processes that influence the employee experience.
The Employer Satisfaction Survey (ESS) is conducted annually, and the fundamental purpose of the survey in HE is to assess how responsive and relevant the curriculum and activities of higher education institutions are. This is done by measuring the extent to which the respective HEIs are preparing graduates to meet employer needs. Employers� expectations of graduates are determined by the perceptions of the critical skills that are needed to meet the industry�s demands in different professions. Therefore, this survey will determine the satisfaction of employers regarding the performance of UFS graduates in various companies and workplaces
Graduate destination surveys (alumni research or tracer studies) allow researchers to collect data about the actual labour market outcomes and workplace experiences of university graduates and compare these with their expectations and plans at the time of graduation. The UFS amended its Graduate Exit Survey (GES) questionnaire to collect data about employment, future studies, satisfaction, and skills acquisition from alumni. The Graduate Destination Survey (GDS) aims to provide empirical evidence to inform interventions intended to better prepare UFS graduates for the world of work and improve their employability. Data is collected through an online survey distributed to UFS alumni registered in the UFS alumni database and all graduates who completed the GES. The findings provide the University with a better understanding of the work-life of its alumni, the transition from study to work, and the professional relevance of the graduate attributes and other skills graduates acquire at the UFS.
The SES aims to support Vision 130 in becoming a research-led, student-centred and regionally engaged University. Therefore, providing empirical evidence informs interventions or initiatives intended to create a home for students from diverse backgrounds. The research objectives are to assess students' level of satisfaction with UFS support services and to investigate students' general satisfaction with being on campus.
