ASR Staff Engagement June 3rd Survey

This week’s ASR Staff Engagement Survey 6/3/2021 takes a look at how we work together in teams. Thank you for continuing to share your stories and experiences!

The results of the last survey indicated most folks plan their workday the day before (43.5%), followed closely by planning the morning of that day (30.4%) and planning more than 1 day before (21.7%). The majority of respondents also indicated that they use software, such as Google Calendar, to set reminders for themselves (56.5%) rather than writing notes as a reminder (43.5%).

When asked about upcoming meetings, a slim majority prefer to show up a minute or two early (52.2%), followed by showing up right at the meeting start time (47.8%). Finally, we had lots of great responses regarding what people are looking forward to this summer. Several responses mentioned getting outside for some sun, reconnecting with family and friends, and doing outdoor activities like gardening, hiking, biking, and bonfires.

Thanks all for your continued participation! It is very much appreciated. The results from the last survey and additional articles related to the questions are available below.
