Niagara College’s 2019 Employee Engagement Survey wrapped up last week, and I’d like to sincerely thank all of our staff and faculty who took the time to provide their valuable input through this important exercise.
We had a tremendous participation rate to this year’s survey; over 83 percent of full-time staff and faculty shared their feedback with us. That high response rate is reflective of the passion and engagement you each bring to work every day. It also communicates a strong desire to see our workplace build on past successes, and pursue new opportunities for improvement. I want to assure you that we will be giving thoughtful consideration to all your feedback, and greatly appreciate the thoughts and opinions you’ve shared throughout this process.
Continuous improvement is critical for any organization’s success, and like most other top organizations, we recognize that regularly listening to employees leads to more informed decisions that can bring about positive changes in the workplace. NC has a long history of administering such surveys and we were one of the first colleges in Ontario to conduct them on a regular basis.
As mentioned in my message introducing the survey, results will be shared college-wide in Spring 2019 and will help us to identify our strengths and areas for improvement. This will be followed up with planning sessions to help each department understand, interpret and where appropriate, action the results.
Once again, thank you for your contributions in building a strong, positive workplace culture at Niagara College.
