Has the institution conducted a survey or other evaluation that allows for anonymous feedback to measure employee satisfaction and engagement during the previous three years?:
Percentage of employees assessed, directly or by representative sample:
A brief description of the institution’s methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:
In Spring 2020, Swarthmore conducted the HERI Faculty survey, a national survey that asks about a range of topics, including faculty members' workload, stress, and views on institutional priorities. The College will be readministering this survey later in Spring 2023.
Some questions include:
-Are your faculty using advanced pedagogy in the classroom? More so than your peer institutions?
-In what areas are your faculty most satisfied? Is it different for associate professors Adjuncts?
-How do your faculty view institutional priorities?
-How do your faculty experience the campus climate?
-Where are areas for growth and improvement?
A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation:
Swarthmore has placed a high priority on assessment for many years. Throughout our history, our periodic reviews of curricular elements such as the Honors Program, our participation in research with consortia of peer institutions, and our constant attention to the effectiveness of our work as teachers, scholars, and administrators has been part of our stewardship of the College. Throughout the current strategic planning process, the importance of ongoing assessment for new initiatives as well as ongoing programs has been underscored.
