Frequently Asked Questions

Survey Customization / Oversampling

1. Can we customize the survey and still participate in the program?
2. What if we want to survey more than the random sample of our full-time Faculty, Administrators and Exempt Professional Staff (audience for program)?
3. What if we want to survey our entire institution?
4. What if we want to add additional statements or demographics to the survey?

1. Can we customize the survey and still participate in the program?

Applicants can customize some components of the faculty/staff survey (i.e. adding/customizing demographics and adding statements/questions or surveying Other Staff) and still use their results as their application for the program. Certain restrictions apply. See Survey Customization for more information.

2. What if we want to survey more than the random sample of our full-time faculty, administrators and exempt professional staff (audience for program)?

Based on requests from applicants last year, ModernThink has provided the opportunity to survey beyond the random sample included as part of the program. For a fee, applicants can broaden the survey audience to include:

• Additional full-time Faculty, Administrators and/or Exempt Professional Staff
• Part-time Faculty, Administrators and/or Exempt Professional Staff
• Other Non-Exempt Staff

In each of these instances of what we call “Oversampling”, the institution will use the standard survey and standard demographics. There is a limit on the number of faculty/staff that can be included in an Oversampling. Click here for more information about Oversampling.

3. What if we want to survey our entire institution?

There are two ways to survey your entire institution. Some small institutions can utilize Oversampling to include all of your employees. You also have the opportunity to conduct a customized, all inclusive, institution wide climate survey and still participate in the program. To learn more about this opportunity select Survey Customization.
