Welcome
Is your college a great place to work? The Chronicle of Higher Education will help you find out.
The Chronicle and ModernThink LLC, a leader in assessing workplace quality, have created "The Great Colleges to Work For" program to recognize Higher Education institutions that have created exceptional work environments, as well as to share benchmarking data about trends in compensation, benefits, and other employment issues.
Register now to become part of the widely anticipated 2nd annual The Chronicle's 2009 Great Colleges to Work For program.
There is no cost to participate in the program and participation is open to all non-profit higher education institutions.
About the Program
The program is higher education's version of the popular Fortune magazine survey, with one key difference: It does not rank institutions in one big list.
Instead, the program recognizes small groups of colleges for specific best practices and policies, such as tenure clarity, collaborative governance, work/life balance and compensation and benefits. The program results including recognized institutions will be published in The Chronicle's Academic Supplement in July 2009.

The process consists of two online surveys: the ModernThink Institution Questionnaire© (IQ) completed by one or more management representatives at each institution, and the ModernThink Higher Education Insight Survey© (Climate/Engagement assessment) completed by a random sample of full-time - faculty members, administrators, and professional support staff at each institution. Results from both of these surveys are used in the assessment process which includes analysis of demographic data and workplace policies at each of the participating institutions.
The program is also designed to help colleges improve as workplaces through the individual reports they receive, so The Chronicle names only those institutions that have scored well enough to be recognized in any category.
