Respect and Appreciation

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

* I am regularly recognized for my contributions. (47%)
* Our recognition and awards programs are meaningful to me. (46%)
* At this institute, people are supportive of their colleagues regardless of their heritage or background. (72%)
* We celebrate significant milestones and important accomplishments at this institute. (56%)

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 56% positive and 13% negative.

Employees who were most satisfied in this area are either those who (1) are 30-34 year of age, (2) have been here 2-4 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.
