Pride

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

* I understand how my job contributes to this institution's mission. (82%)
* Overall, my department is a good place to work. (70%)
* I am proud to be part of this institute. (75%)
* This institute's culture is special - something you don't find just anywhere. (50%)
* All things considered, this is a great place to work. (66%)

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 68% positive and 7% negative.

Employees who were most satisfied in this area are either those who (1) are 55 - 59 years 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 pride.
