Why should I complete the COACHE Faculty Exit and Retention Survey?

Simply stated, administrative and faculty leaders need to know about your experiences in order to improve their retention efforts. Learning from your unique experiences will be essential to understanding the reasons faculty choose to stay at or leave their universities. There is great interest in your survey responses for two reasons. First, your institution contributed funding to participate in the survey. This means there are high-level leaders who want to learn from the results. Your answers to the questions in the survey will pinpoint areas in the retention process that need immediate attention at your institution (or former institution). Second, a high response rate will help campuses make meaningful inferences from the data and help COACHE make improvements to the survey for future administrations.
