The College use to use Modern Think's Employee Satisfaction Survey, but recently developed an internal employee satisfaction survey. It was first given in 13/14 year. It is our intent to repeat the survey regularly.


A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation (including examples from the previous three years):

There were two recurring themes which arose from the most recent campus survey; communication and and feedback.

Methods in increase communication are the most public ways on-campus members have seen these issues addressed. The President's office conducts two all campus addresses, which include a Q&A section, allowing employees to directly direct the President. There is a section on the internal website for documents from the President, including a copy the emails the President sends to all employees with a summary of each board meeting. The President has also asked all administrative committees in improve their communication with the campus.

The Human Resources Department, in partnership with the President's office, has created an appraisals task force to help improve the performance review process.

A third of many outcomes from the employee satisfaction survey includes the generation of the President's Advisory Committee. This committee helps the President receive feedback from community members and also provide his own feedback to the community.
