Recently, the first annual employee engagement survey was conducted to obtain a baseline assessment of employee engagement at Montgomery College. (Survey results can be found at https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/mymc/channels/emp/EEsurveyresults2009.pdf) The survey results serve as a starting point to identify and examine policies, behavior, and philosophies which promote engagement as well as identify impediments to engagement. In an effort to further explore employee engagement at the College, we are conducting a series of focus group with employees.
We are currently seeking volunteers to participate in these focus groups. It is our intent that the groups be diverse and express interests from all points of view at Montgomery College. Accordingly, focus groups will be conducted with all employee groups (bargaining unit staff, non-bargaining unit staff, administrators, part-time faculty and full-time faculty). Focus groups have been scheduled at the following times and locations:
Bargaining Unit Staff:
Thursday January 14, 2010, 3-5 p.m., CPOD-40 West Gude Drive
Non-Bargaining Unit Staff:
Friday January 15, 2010, 1:30-3:30 p.m., CPOD-40 West Gude Drive
Administrators:
Thursday January 28, 2010, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Mannakee
Part-time Faculty:
Thursday February 4, 2010, 4-6 p.m., CPOD-40 West Gude Drive
Full-time Faculty:
Friday February 5, 2010, 1:30-3:30 p.m., CPOD-40 West Gude Drive
Since each focus group will be limited to 10-15 people, participants are asked to register at https://www.pds.montgomerycollege.edu. Participants will be selected on a first come, first serve basis and registrations will be confirmed via email.
Your input is a critical component in the success of the Employee Engagement Program. Thank you in advance for your willingness and effort to participate in the Focus Group.
