What makes a great place to work even better? For many at Colorado College, it\u2019s being part of a culture that emphasizes an inclusive community, one that helps each person develop as a professional, and promotes enthusiasm for lifelong learning, flexibility, open-mindedness, and other 21st-century skills \u2014 the same skills students develop during their four years at CC.<\/p>\n

CC\u2019s second campus climate\/engagement survey, conducted in October among faculty and staff, assessed the continuing efforts to make the college a great place to work, one of the initiatives of the strategic plan. The goal is to cultivate a climate for employees that is as innovative and dynamic as the CC academic experience. Results showed improvement in a wide range of areas, from the college\u2019s new employee orientation process, to becoming more transparent with clearer and more consistent policies and procedures, to becoming a more diverse and inclusive community.<\/p>\n

Out of 75 attributes that indicate an excellent work environment, CC improved its positive responses in almost every category. Overall, 29 statements improved by 10 percentage points or more over the 2013 survey, and 48 statements showed improvement of 5 percentage points or more from statements made in 2013. Both surveys were conducted by ModernThink, and the results were shared in meetings with faculty and staff.<\/p>\n
