Supervisor Survey

Research tells us that the relationship between an employee and his/her supervisor is the key to job satisfaction. In an effort to move toward an "employer of choice" model we have conducted a supervisors survey for each of the last five years.

We've had really good participate in the survey (in the 70% range for the last few years). We have used the results to plan supervisors' training, to craft individual development plans for supervisors and in annual performance reviews.

We've been watching the trends and you can see them here on the IPS Intranet under the Employee Relations tab. They are posted in the upper right hand corner.

IPS supervisors have consistently scored high in "giving clear direction," "being encouraging and optimistic," "being approachable and accessible," and "listening".

I look forward to this year's results. The survey is open the entire month of September, so look for emails and other communications with the link.
