The Great Colleges to Work For Program® is sponsored by the Chronicle of Higher Education in partnership with ModernThink and provides the university with insights on the quality of the workplace experience.
ModernThink has accumulated a robust database of higher education benchmarking statistics and best practices. By working with ModernThink, CSUB will benefit from a nationally-normed survey instrument, industry-specific benchmarking data, and enhanced survey results and analysis. The survey includes a questionnaire about institutional characteristics, faculty/staff evaluations of their institutions, demographic data and workplace policies and practices, including benefits, work/life balance and shared governance.
