Joint working environment survey (FAMU) at UiB

FAMU is the University of Bergen’s work environment survey.

Main content

A good work environment is crucial for a positive workday experience. The University of Bergen prioritizes the well-being, health, and necessary tools for its employees to perform their tasks. A well-functioning work environment is part of the HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) action plan for 2023-2026 at the University of Bergen.

To develop and improve the work environment, it is important to pause and assess and capture how employees perceive their work environment and situation. Therefore, regular work environment surveys are conducted at UiB, including the annual local surveys and a comprehensive survey for the entire UiB every three years.

For the comprehensive work environment survey, UiB uses ARK as a tool and sends out a common questionnaire to all its employees. All UiB employees are expected to contribute to a good work environment and participate by responding to the survey. Managers are responsible for facilitating the survey’s execution.

For 2024-2025, UiB has allowed units to choose from three dates to conduct the work environment survey at their unit:

  • 11 November 2024: JUR, ØKA, FIA, HR, IT, KA, SA, EIA & UDIR
  • 27 January 2025: NT, UM & SV
  • 24 March 2025: HF, PSYK, KMD, MED & UB
