Why were Focus Groups conducted?
During the first week in November, we conducted focus groups as one step in our organizational culture assessment. The culture assessment includes three parts: Senior leadership interviews, employee focus groups and an employee opinion survey. The purpose of the focus groups is to gather qualitative information to identify issues of concern. This provides input into the culture assessment, and it helps to ensure that relevant questions are included on the Employee Opinion Survey. In late January, the survey will be mailed directly to ALL classified non-bargaining employees, ALL administrators, and faculty with administrative appointments. Employees will be encouraged to participate for the best results.
