What is 200 Days, 200 Conversations?
As part of a broader effort to amplify employees’ voices, we are holding a “listening tour” across the CWRU campus. This initiative was launched in Spring 2026 and will continue until Fall 2026. During this period, we are engaging in 1-on-1 conversations with 200 faculty and staff representing a cross section of the university. These conversations aim to discover what employees appreciate about working here, how they see our campus community embodying our core values, and the dreams they have for the future of CWRU.
Why 200 conversations? Well, it is both a nod to CWRU's Bicentennial and a large enough group to allow us to hear from a broad representation of faculty and staff from across our campus community. As we seek to enhance the work experience at Case Western Reserve University, these conversations will help us develop strategies to improve employee satisfaction, productivity, and retention and create initiatives that foster a positive organizational culture.
Participants have been randomly selected and are invited to engage in an in-person interview that lasts 30 to 45 minutes. Conversations are confidential and interviewees receive an Informed Consent Notice at the start of the interview.
Once all conversations have been completed, data will be reviewed. A report with a summary of the findings will be shared with the CWRU community in late 2026 or early 2027.
