In this article, the authors report on a tested workload intervention, faculty work activity dashboards, to enhance transparency and reduce ambiguity. This intervention is part of the Faculty Workload and Rewards Project (FWRP), a National Science Foundation-funded, action-research project designed to improve equity in how faculty workload is taken up, assigned, and/or rewarded. From 2016 to 2019, the authors worked with 50 academic departments and other academic units to put in place policies and practices that promoted faculty workload transparency. The FWRP focus was on departments because they are the critical place where academic labor is divided, where faculty are rewarded, and where most faculty express the greatest workload dissatisfaction. However, the issues and strategies discussed could also apply to colleges or other academic units. The authors describe the nature of faculty work activity dashboards, describe the dashboard creation process, and explain how dashboards help departments diagnose workload inequities and promote equity-minded workload reforms. The authors share feedback from FWRP departments that created faculty work activity dashboards and the outcomes they reported as a result. Finally, recommendations are offered for creating dashboards based on the experiences of those leading the project.
