Survey to measure perceptions of Purdue benefit programs

The survey is designed to measure employee perceptions regarding the design, communication, and delivery of Purdue benefit programs. The survey information gathered will be used to ensure that the University's benefit plans align and support organizational strategies, attract and retain a talented and diverse work force, and continue to help make Purdue a great place to work.

The benefit survey will be administered online using a stratified random sampling of faculty and staff at all four campuses.

In late November, employees in the random sampling will receive invitations to complete the survey, which should take only about 10 minutes to complete.

To maintain employee confidentiality, Staff Benefits is using an independent consulting firm, Hewitt Associates, to conduct the survey and analyze the results. At no time will anyone at Purdue have access to individual responses.

Employee responses will be sent directly to Hewitt Associates, which will compile the responses and provide Purdue with a summary of the survey results. Results will be shared with Purdue faculty and staff during late spring of 2009.
