MAC/WIC Survey Now Open
The Multicultural Affairs Committee (MAC) and the Women’s Initiatives Committee (WIC) are excited to present the 2022 MAC/WIC Survey ! The MAC/WIC Survey is an important opportunity for City of Madison employees to share feedback on workplace experiences, culture, and their working environment to guide future workplace decisions and initiatives.
Your Voice Matters
We want to hear from you! All surveys are anonymous and kept confidential. We only share aggregate results with leadership. The survey takes 10 to 15 minutes to complete. We encourage supervisors to allow staff time to complete this survey and contribute to this citywide initiative.
Take the survey by April 22, 2022.
