Dear Colleagues,

If you haven’t taken the Staff Survey yet, there’s still time to share your feedback! Your input helps us better understand your workplace experience and identify ways to continue improving our community. We are a little more than halfway to our goal of 50% participation and if we reach the target, all full-time and part-time staff will be eligible to enter a giveaway:

  • One-month complimentary parking permit (for one staff member),
  • A weekend stay at Airlie (2 days),
  • 4 pairs of free tickets to AU games and performances,
  • 4 AU Rewards cards of $100 each,
  • A 5K and Airlie Festival registration pass,
  • Four 2-person passes to the U Club. 
  • Per IRS regulations the values of prizes may be taxable. Prizes must be used within one year of award and subject to availability.

In addition to access via the email you received, you can access the survey directly in Workday using these steps:

  1. Go to Workday.american.edu.
  2. On your home screen, look under Timely Suggestions and you’ll see the survey listed as “New Peakon Employee Voice Survey Available,” as shown in the screenshot below:
