SCICU members Columbia College and Furman University were recognized recently as Great Colleges to Work For 2014 by The Chronicle of Higher Education.
Ninety-two colleges were highlighted in one or more of the 12 recognition categories based on a survey of 278 participants in the 7th annual Great Colleges to Work For survey administered by ModernThink LLC and The Chronicle. Recognition categories included a range of workplace quality and climate measures including confidence in senior leadership, compensation and benefits, respect and appreciation, work/life balance, and facilities, workspace and security.
This year’s Great Colleges to Work For survey, based on responses from more than 43,000 campus employees, finds that successful academic workplaces create a culture of accountability. They also promote common values through strong shared-governance policies, making employees feel that they are all players on the same team.
