Staff and Faculty Health and Well-being (SFHWB) is hosting virtual informational interviews between Feb. 12 and March 7 to better understand the prevalence of basic needs insecurity among part-time and full-time UC Davis Health employees. The interviews will be confidential. A survey will also be disseminated to participants.

Participation in these efforts will help raise awareness of basic needs insecurity, optimize resource allocation, and develop relevant programs at UC Davis and UC Davis Health.

How to sign up and participate:

Sign up for an informational interview

From now until March 7, SFHWB team members will interview participants via Zoom. The sessions will last approximately 25 minutes. If Zoom is not convenient, please indicate this in the sign-up form.

Take the Employee Basic Needs Survey

Responses will be confidential. Data analysis and summary results will not include identifying information tied back to respondents. Ten survey respondents who volunteer their contact information in a separate form will be randomly selected to receive a $20 gift card.
