  • 1.  Survey to gather feedback about improving communications with faculty

    Posted 06-18-2025 12:53:00 PM

    The Ohio State University College of Medicine has launched a working group with a subcommittee of our Faculty Council to look at ways to improve communication with our faculty. As part of that project, we are gathering insights from peers on how well information is conveyed with your faculty, the responsiveness of communication channels, and any challenges you've encountered.

    To streamline this process, we've created a brief survey to gather your feedback. If you have a few minutes, I would greatly appreciate your input, the survey can be foundhttps://osu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8AqpGxo6G7fc9ls. Click or tap if you trust this link." data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="0" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> here.

    Your perspectives will be invaluable in identifying best practices and potential areas for improvement. In the spirit of transparency, we are happy to share our findings with once the survey closes. Thank you in advance for taking the time to share your thoughts!

    Thanks to everyone who participated in the survey. Attached is the executive summary of the results, which outlines key insights from communication leaders into how faculty prefer to receive and prioritize institutional messages. 

    Based on feedback from respondents, while email remains a prevalent tool for communication, its overuse has reduced its impact. This underscores the necessity for diversified communication strategies. Meetings, weekly newsletters and messages endorsed by leadership have proven to be more effective in engaging faculty. By leveraging these channels, the survey suggests institutions can enhance message visibility and improve overall communication effectiveness.
