Update on the Values in Practice employee engagement pulse survey
We’ve reached the midway point of our Values in Practice (VIP) employee engagement pulse survey. Our overall response rate is 46%, and we need your help in encouraging your team’s participation through email and in team meetings and huddles to ensure every voice is heard.

Together, this is how we grow and improve as an institution and carry out our mission – and frankly, it’s what makes organizations like Forbes rank UT Southwestern among America’s top 10 employers.
