Now in its 15th year, The Great Colleges to Work For漏 program recognizes the colleges that get top ratings from their employees regarding workplace practices and policies. It includes a two-part assessment process: the ModernThink Higher Education Insight Survey漏 administered to faculty, administrators, exempt professional and non-exempt staff, and the ModernThink Higher Education Institution Questionnaire漏 (IQ) which captures employment data and workplace policies and practices from each institution.
Recognition analysis for the Great Colleges to Work For program is conducted by ModernThink, an organizational development firm with particular survey and 鈥淏est Place to Work鈥� expertise. The principal factor in deciding whether an institution receives recognition is the feedback from employees collected from the ModernThink Higher Education Insight Survey漏. The institutional policies and practices information collected through the ModernThink IQ provides supplemental insight to the employee survey, and is reviewed and analyzed both for completeness and content.
