Policies, Resources and Efficiency

One of the categories evaluated in the Employee Engagement Survey is called "Policies, Resources and Efficiency." The questions that address this issue include:

* Our review process accurately measures my job performance. (49%)
* My department has adequate faculty/staff to achieve our goals. (40%)
* Our orientation program prepares new faculty, administration and staff to be effective. (47%)
* This institute actively contributes to the community. (74%)
* This institute places sufficient emphasis on having diverse faculty, administration and staff. (71%)
* This institute is well run. (42%)

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 53% positive and 17% negative.

Employees who were most satisfied in this area are either those who (1) are 60-64 years of age, (2) have been here 21- 25 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.
