Collaboration

One of the categories evaluated in the Employee Engagement Survey is called "Collaboration." The questions that address this issue include:

* We have opportunities to contribute to important decisions in my department. (49%)
* People in my department work well together. (54%)
* I can count on people to cooperate across departments. (44%)
* There's a sense that we're all on the same team at this institute. (28%)

The number in parentheses indicates the percent of respondents who either agreed or strongly agreed with this statement. The overall score in this category was 43% positive and 21% negative.

Employees who were most satisfied in this area are either those who (1) are 40-44 year of age, (2) have been here less than two years, or (3) expect to stay 6-9 years.

The Employee Relations Committee and the HR Strategy Team will be analyzing the data further to determine specific things we can do to improve policies, resources and efficiency.
