Employee survey shows improving culture; board hears next steps and plans for action
Summary
Southeast Tech presented results of an employee survey showing improved campus culture and areas for attention—pay fairness and burnout—then outlined next steps including a goal‑team review and sharing full results; the board acknowledged the report.
The board received results from a campus employee survey administered by Ruffalo Noel Levitz, the president told trustees, highlighting gains in campus culture, communication and employee engagement while flagging continuing gaps in pay fairness and workload.
Survey administrators said the instrument asked employees both how important specific items were and how satisfied they were, enabling the college to track gaps. The presenters reported an overall mean satisfaction score around 3.99 out of 5, noted progress on communication and supervisor‑employee relationships, and said areas with the largest importance–satisfaction gaps included pay fairness and resources.
Open‑ended responses emphasized continued commitment to students, concerns about long hours and burnout, and a desire for clearer communication, recognition and advancement pathways. The college plans to post an alumni coordinator position, share full results with employees, and convene a goal‑team with cabinet leadership to identify three tactics to implement in the coming year.
Board members praised the transparency and asked for follow-up; the board moved to acknowledge the employee survey report, and the motion passed with one member opposing.
