Landmark College is one of the best colleges in the nation to work for, according to 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 171 colleges and universities. In all, 76 of those institutions achieved “Great College to Work For” recognition for specific best practices and policies. Results are reported for small, medium, and large institutions, with Landmark College included among the small institutions.
Landmark College won honors in the category of “Supervisor/Department Chair Effectiveness.” This recognition category is based on the survey items providing insight into critical managerial competencies such as providing clear direction and constructive feedback and ensuring effective communication and equitable treatment.
“This recognition is a very gratifying affirmation of Landmark College as a workplace,” said Landmark College President Jim Dlugos, Ph.D. “We will review all the survey results with an eye on how we can continue to make our employees proud to be part of the Landmark College community.”
The survey results are based on a two-part assessment process: an institution questionnaire that captures 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 Great Colleges to Work For® program is one of the largest and most respected workplace-recognition programs in the country.
