Co-Lin named a “2021 Great College to Work For”
WESSON – Copiah-Lincoln Community College is one of the best colleges in the nation to work for, according to a new survey by the Great Colleges to Work For® program. The results, released today in a special insert of The Chronicle of Higher Education, are based on a survey of 196 colleges and universities. In all, 70 of the 196 institutions achieved “Great College to Work For” recognition for specific best practices and policies. This is the fifth time Co-Lin has received this prestigious recognition.
Co-Lin won honors in two categories this year:
- Professional Development
- Supervisor/Department Chair Effectiveness
“I am extremely proud that the college has again received this honor, as our employees are a huge part of what makes Co-Lin a very special place,” said Co-Lin President Dr. Jane Hulon Sims.
The survey results are based on a two-part assessment process: an institution questionnaire that captured employment data and workplace policies from each institution, and a survey administered to faculty, administrators, and professional support staff. The primary factor in deciding whether an institution received recognition was the employee feedback.
The employee survey underwent a number of changes this year, including the addition of 11 new survey statements, some of which are related to new survey themes around diversity, inclusion and belonging, as well as faculty and staff well-being. New survey demographics related to gender identity and remote work were also included this year.
In accordance with the survey changes, the recognition categories for the program were also updated this year to better reflect current patterns and methodologies in employee engagement in higher education.
The Great Colleges to Work For® program is one of the largest and most respected workplace-recognition programs in the country.
