A brief description of the institution’s methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:

Drake partners with Modern Think, an external survey vendor, that provides “best practice” employee assessment in higher education. The Great Colleges to Work For program is also in partnership with the Chronicle. Modern Think conducts an anonymous survey against a set of standardized questions. The program works with over 1,000 institutions to provide robust benchmark data to accurately assess employee culture. This survey is administered every year in support of our continuous improvement efforts. More information can be found on the program at https://greatcollegesprogram.com/.

At the core of the program is a two-part assessment process: a faculty/staff survey (The ModernThink Higher Education Insight Survey©) and an institutional audit capturing information detailing various institution demographics, policies, practices, and infrastructure (The ModernThink Institution Questionnaire© also known as the "IQ”).
Each participating institution is asked to submit an email list of full-time faculty/staff randomly selected across four categories (Administration, Faculty, Exempt Professional Staff, and Non-exempt Staff) to participate in the survey. Adjunct faculty are included only for community colleges.

A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation (including examples from the previous three years):

The University results as a whole are evaluated by a small committee, the Dean’s Council and the President’s council with specific and actionable areas identified for each year. Every single unit on campus also reviews their unit results to further identify specific and actionable areas of improvement for the next year as well. This process is integrated with our continuous improvement methodology.
