Saint Leo University might be a good place to go to school, but now it’s being recognized as a great place to work.
A new survey from The Chronicle of Higher Education is honoring the St. Leo institution in 10 categories including collaboration and governance, compensation and benefits, senior leadership confidence, facilities, job satisfaction, and respect and appreciation.
The seventh annual report on the academic workplace is based on a survey of more than 43,500 employees at 278 colleges and universities. Less than a third of those institutions achieved any recognition at all, with Saint Leo ranked kong those with 10,000 or more students.
By rating highly in 10 out of 12 categories, Saint Leo also was named a 2014 Honor Roll Institution — a designation achieved by only 42 schools surveyed. This is the second year in a row that Saint Leo has earned that distinction.
“It is a recognition we do not take for granted,” said university president Arthur P. Kirk Jr., in a release. “As we commemorate our 125th anniversary, we continue to strive to provide a welcoming and respectful university community that values the needs and contributions of every individual.”
The survey results are based on a two-part assessment process, which includes an institutional audit, as well as a survey administered to faculty, administrators and professional support staff.
