Is this a climate survey?

Workplace climate studies typically focus on experiences and perceptions of underrepresented groups on campus. Climate surveys can be powerful but COACHE takes a different approach to its work. The Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey assess the academic workplace broadly and then, uses the disaggregation of the results to raise questions about the workplace climate. We find this approach generates a broader level of engagement from the campus both in survey participation and in the work that comes after the results are delivered. Bringing more constituents to the table means that COACHE results can have a greater impact on issues of workplace climate and diversity.
