How Engaged Are You at Work? We Want to Know!
/The Employee Engagement Survey is coming to your inbox on Sept. 12. CPS HR, an independent public consulting agency, will administer the survey and provide overall results and analysis to the County. So, look for an email from CPS HR in a couple of weeks. Take this opportunity to shape the future of your workplace. It’s anonymous. It’s quick. It’s your voice. The survey will be open for three weeks, and it takes less than 10 minutes to complete.
Why are we conducting this survey?
We want to hear from you to make this an even better place to work! We recognize the time and energy you put into serving the public as part of the County team, and research in both the public and private sectors has clearly shown the value of higher levels of employee engagement. Improved engagement not only enhances the individual employee experience, but also leads to better decision-making and improved individual and organizational performance. Learning more about what keeps you engaged can lead to:
greater personal meaning in work
a heightened employee connection to work, co-workers, and our overall County vision
improved employee retention
improved individual performance
better organizational performance and outcomes
a higher level of customer satisfaction
increased involvement and collaboration in decision-making, resulting in better organizational performance and more effective use of resources
stronger partnerships across the organization
How was the survey developed?
The independent consulting agency CPS HR developed the survey, which is based on the best questions from other surveys specifically designed for the public sector.
How long will it take me to complete the survey?
It should take 5 to 10 minutes.
Will anyone be able to find out how I responded?
All survey responses will be confidential. No one in the County will review any individual employee’s survey responses.

What if I don’t want to take the survey?

Will I receive the results of the survey?
