Elevating Adjunct Faculty Voices: Best Christian Workplaces Introduces New Survey

Written by Best Christian Workplaces | September, 03 2024

(Mercer Island, WA) – Best Christian Workplaces, a leader in Christian employee engagement surveys, announces the launch of the new Adjunct Survey, allowing leaders to hear directly from their adjunct faculty.

This survey complements our Employee Engagement Survey by equipping leaders with additional tools to build a Flourishing Workplace™. While the Employee Engagement Survey captures feedback from traditional full-time and part-time faculty, the Adjunct Survey is specifically tailored to address the unique needs of adjunct professors. By gathering targeted insights, this new survey provides institution leaders with a deeper understanding of how these valuable educators experience and perceive the college or university’s culture.

With 22 core questions, the survey gives adjunct professors a platform to voice their perspectives directly to faculty leadership. It also features expanded demographic questions, asking survey takers about course load and class levels, to ensure leaders gain a comprehensive understanding of the roles that adjuncts play within the institution.

Senior Consultant Cary Humphries highlights the importance of adjuncts in the university environment: “Adjunct professors play a unique role in creating the culture within colleges and universities. Often, they bring diverse viewpoints from their professional backgrounds. These professors may not interact with the colleges’ administration in the same way as traditional faculty. However, they do shape the student experience and are associated with the institution’s reputation. While they may not be traditional full-time employees, their insights are crucial to understanding and improving workplace culture at universities.”
