Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
In 2012, an employee climate survey was conducted before and after a major departmental merger. This survey asked questions about job satisfaction and motivation. It also asked employees to indicate their areas of most concern.

The survey results after the merger indicate increased levels of satisfaction among the institutions employees. The original results prior to the merger indicated much need for streamlining departments and decreasing some of the hierarchy existing throughout the university. As a result of the merger, employee satisfaction increased significantly on a number of fronts. The Human Resources Department continues to work on increased employee satisfaction based upon other results obtained through the survey.
