Supervisor/Department Chairs

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

* My supervisor makes his/her expectations clear (62%)
* I receive feedback from my supervisor that helps me (59%)
* I believe what I am told by my supervisor (61%)
* My supervisor regularly models this institute's values (60%)
* My supervisor is consistent and fair (57%)
* My supervisor actively solicits my suggestions and ideas (55%)
* I have a good relationship with my supervisor (75%)

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 61% positive and 8% negative.

Employees who were most satisfied in this area are either those who (1) are 60-64 years of age, (2) have been here less than two years, or (3) expect to stay 3-5 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 supervisors.
