Great Colleges Survey: Share your Voice

The 2014 Great Colleges to Work For Survey opens TODAY and will remain open until Friday April 18.

The survey is open to all full time faculty and staff. The eligible participants will receive an email from ModernThink which will contain a survey invitation and link to the survey.

Important details you should know:
- Survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete.
- Your responses to the survey will be completely confidential. ModernThink LLC, an independent survey firm, will not provide Augsburg College with any information that would enable us to trace survey data back to any one individual.
- Your participation is voluntary.
- Frequently Asked Questions and Answers posted on The HR Moodle https://moodle.augsburg.edu/moodlecommunity/course/view.php?id=329
- Additional resources available:

Human Resources recognizes that many members of our community have work that does not require use of a computer, or who may not have a dedicated office. Therefore we will be hosting computer lab sessions for employees to complete the survey. This will also provide an opportunity for employees to ask questions they might have about the survey or who would like assistance with the survey process.

These sessions are scheduled at the following dates and times.
April 9: 2:30-3:30 p.m., Sverdrup Hall, Room 205
April 10: 11-12 p.m., Sverdrup Hall, Room 201
April 11: 8-9 a.m., Sverdrup Hall, Room 205
April 15: 4-5 p.m., Sverdrup Hall, Room 205
