ASR Staff Engagement August 26th Survey

This week’s ASR Staff Engagement Survey August 26th, 2021 examines managing breaks. Thank you for continuing to share your stories and experiences!

Several clear answers emerged when asked about preferences related to taking on projects. For instance, most respondents (66.7%) indicated that they only need basic information before volunteering for a project, followed by 29.6% who prefer more detailed information. In addition, most say that it depends on the details of the project regarding whether they are hesitant to volunteer without an end date in mind (59.3%).

When asked about group preferences related to projects, a strong majority prefer to work with a small group (70.4%), followed by working on their own (18.5%) and with a large group (11.1%). Finally, we asked what your favorite course or subject was in school. History received the most responses followed closely by Math and subjects related to Science, such as Anatomy and Biology.

Thanks all for your continued participation! The results from the last survey are available below.
