ASR Staff Engagement May 29 Survey

This week’s ASR Engagement Survey continues our summer theme. Thank you for continuing to share your stories and experiences.

According to the last survey, most prefer outdoor seating at restaurants when it’s available (61.1%). In addition, a majority of respondents prefer lemonade (41.7%) or a mix of lemonade and iced tea (38.9%) over iced tea (13.9%) on a hot summer day.

Finally, we asked what side dish you would bring to a BBQ/picnic. Different types of salads, such as potato salad, corn salad, and pasta salad, were mentioned the most, followed by different types of bruschetta and dips. Thanks all for your continued participation! It is very much appreciated.
