Survey Underway to Assess Georgia Tech Culture
At the Student Employment Onboarding event, Georgia Tech Human Resources staff members Sanika Simmons (left), onboarding supervisor, and Diana Robert, student employment manager, were joined by volunteers from across campus to assist more than 600 new student employees with the in-person final steps required to complete their hiring in the OneUSG system. Simmons and Robert are wearing shirts that feature one of Tech’s nine strategic values: Students are our top priority.
As a continuation of Georgia Tech’s focus on Living Our Values Every Day (L.O.V.E. GT), the Institute is soliciting feedback on how well we are demonstrating the behaviors and practices set forth by our stated values. Survey input from faculty and staff will help identify the areas within our culture where we are succeeding as well as where there are opportunities for improvement. Students will be surveyed in mid-January.
The survey will take no more than 10 – 15 minutes, and all responses will remain anonymous. The survey will be accessible until the close of business on Friday, December 17.
Georgia Tech defines its organizational culture as the behaviors, beliefs, assumptions, priorities, and experiences of the people in its environment. In support of its culture, Tech recently launched a new set of values as part of its strategic plan. To accomplish the ambitious goals articulated there, it is critical to have a campus culture that supports the Institute’s values.
Our values are foundational in everything we do, and they serve as guiding principles. Values define who we are, who we aspire to be as a community. and help us make decisions. They apply to every member of the Georgia Tech community — students, faculty, staff, alumni, and affiliates. Whatever our respective roles are, these values are meant to guide our priorities every day and to help us focus on our shared mission.
