A brief description of the institution’s methodology for evaluating employee satisfaction and engagement:
The survey is done using a representative sample of staff and faculty on campus. The survey will be delivered via email to 600 randomly selected faculty and staff by the Chronicle of Higher Education, which will keep the identities of those chosen to participate confidentially. If you received the email, titled The Great Colleges to Work For 2024 Faculty/Staff Survey in the subject line, I encourage you to take some time and complete the survey. Recognition analysis for the Great Colleges to Work For® program is conducted by ModernThink, an organizational development firm with particular survey and “Best Place to Work” expertise.
For the fourth straight year and sixth time since 2014, Texas Tech University has been recognized as one of the best destinations in the country for employees with its ranking in the 2024 Great Colleges to Work For® program, one of the largest and most respected initiatives in the country that measures workplace factors in higher education.
Additionally, Texas Tech was awarded Honor Roll status for the third consecutive year for being cited most often across all recognition categories.
The ranking is based on results of the Great Colleges to Work For® survey of faculty and staff at 216 institutions across the U.S., including 139 four-year colleges and universities. Texas Tech is one of 75 institutions to earn the designation and one of 42 to earn Honor Roll status.
A brief description of the mechanism(s) by which the institution addresses issues raised by the evaluation:
Texas Tech University will once again participate in the Chronicle of Higher Education’s “Great Colleges to Work For” survey. The survey measures the strength of certain organizational competencies and relationships that most directly impact and influence an institution’s culture.
Texas Tech earned recognition in six categories this year:
Job satisfaction and support
Compensation and benefits
Professional development
Faculty and staff well-being
Confidence in senior leadership
Mission and pride
Results will determine areas of improvement by category.
