UCS Stakeholder Survey

Overview: In an effort to gain insightful feedback from stakeholders in the community who
work or interact with our agency on a regular basis, we facilitated a survey with 9 questions on
a graded scale and one user-based response question. The survey was conducted through
Survey Monkey, an online based survey provider system.
We emailed 291 total contacts, of which 132 opened the survey, 155 left the survey unopened,
52 clicked through, and 3 opted out. 37 contacts completed the survey resulting in a 12.71%
response rate.
Analysis: In each category tested for the organization there was a significantly strong response
rate to identify UCS as providing quality customer service, responding in a timely manner to
needs, providing a high quality of services, and that UCS staff were strongly ranked as
professional.
Overall quality of services and professionalism were ranked as particularly strong characteristics
of the organization. Both response time and customer service earned very positive reviews, but
each did also earn 3 to 4 negative response answers (very low or low quality & not timely,
respectively). This identifies an area of awareness for UCS moving forward.
In summary, the positive results of the stakeholder survey, affirmed by community partners,
that UCS is working toward its mission statement: Building a stronger community by
empowering individuals and families to live healthy and meaningful lives.

organization: quality of programming, customer service, response time, overall quality of
