ASR Staff Engagement June 15th Survey

This week’s ASR Staff Engagement Survey asks about your experiences and preferences in meetings. Thank you for continuing to share your stories and experiences.

According to the last survey, most respondents have worked at another Higher Ed institution before joining the University (58.3%). Additionally, 66.7% say they have changed roles since they started at the University versus 33.3% who have stayed in the same role.

When asked when you do your best work, a resounding 83.3% say they do their best work in the morning. We received a wide array of responses when asked about your first ever job. Many folks mentioned being a babysitter, nanny, dishwasher, and working in retail or sales! Thanks all for your continued participation! It is very much appreciated. The results from the last survey are available below.
