"A Great Place to Work is characterized by individuals who trust the people they work with, have pride in what they do, enjoy the people they work with and have opportunities to learn and grow."
In 2007, President Richard Davenport commissioned a task force of University employees to look at job-satisfaction issues ranging from work load to trusting the University administration.
The Great Place To Work Task Force commissioned an employee survey. The results of that survey are in and presented in full detail on this Web site.
The responses give us reasons to be proud while illuminating areas that need attention. For instance, more than 90 percent surveyed say they enjoy the tasks that comprise their jobs, but 63 percent say they feel overloaded.
Using the survey results, the Great Place to Work Task Force has formed specific action groups to address areas that need improvement. Long- and short-term solutions are being created, and employee comments are welcome at any time. The Task Force can be emailed at gptw@mnsu.edu.
For accurate news on the Task Force's work, bookmark this page. It will be routinely updated as progress continues toward improving the workplace for everyone.
The goal is to ensure the University remains a source of pride and satisfaction for its employees – that it indeed is a Great Place to Work.
