A brief description of the institution’s methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:

Muhlenberg has conducted an employee satisfaction and engagement survey.

100% of full and part-time employees were sent the survey; response rate was 56%

Muhlenberg used a surveying service called “Work Place Dynamics” to evaluate its employees’ satisfaction. The survey had two parts:
• OrgHealth: Determines if an organization has a clear sense of direction and if it makes it employees feel valued.
• My Job: Looks at how employees feel about their job, and takes into account their feelings about their “managers, compensation, work/life balance and opportunities
for career development”.
After employees take the survey, the Work Place Dynamics provides charts and suggestions based on data and comments.

Muhlenberg evaluates results and comments, and refers issues to appropriate departments to be addressed. Changes made in the past three years include: expanding health screenings covered at zero cost in 2013 and 2014; enhancing marketing of health insurer's pregnancy programs in 2014; offering free, on-campus biometric screening and a wellness reward for participants in 2014; offering supplemental life insurance to all employees in 2013; adding a lower co-pay option ($10 co-pay for "Minute clinics") in 2014.

Fall 2012 was the most recent year that the employee satisfaction and engagement evaluation was last administered.
