More than 400 employees registered to attend the April Town Hall Thursday to hear the results of Algonquin College’s Pulse Survey and participate in a lively question-and-answer session about the survey and other topics of interest. Read the full article on MyAC!

On January 26, Algonquin College will launch our first Pulse Survey! What does this mean for you as an employee?
We would like your feedback on:
Our survey provider is Metrics@Work, you may remember them from our 2019 Employee Engagement survey as they not only deploy the survey, they house the data and only deliver aggregate results to the College. The survey is completely confidential as nothing is routed through the College servers, everything goes directly to Metrics@Work.
Please know that Metrics@Work has worked closely with our Human Resources department to ensure the data is collected and stored in a secure and confidential manner. So, when you receive a link from noreply@qemailserver.com on January 26, it is from Metrics@Work!
The survey is not mandatory, but remember that this is your opportunity to provide feedback to the College regarding your experience during this difficult time. If there are any questions you are not able to answer, please select N/A or skip the question. Any question with an answer will be included in the results.
Please keep in mind that while the College will receive overall aggregate results, we will also receive results for select departments with over ten respondents. If there are less than ten respondents, no results will be given to the College.
What will the College do with the results? As there was in 2019, a Town Hall will be held in late February with results going out to Schools, Faculties and Departments at that time. There will then be results sessions and discussions for further action.
Close to 200 employees attended Wednesday’s Town Hall while many more watched via livestream at the Perth and Pembroke campuses to learn the results of the 2019 Employee Engagement Survey.
Highlights from his presentation include:
Areas for improvement include:
“I can tell you, Algonquin College people have an opinion. They’re not sitting in neutral,” said Yardley as he wrapped up his presentation. Judging by the laugher from those in attendance, it was an accurate statement.
The complete survey results are available on the employee engagement website.
For the seventh year in a row, Algonquin College has been name a Top Employer in the National Capital Region.

In June, we announced that we were putting out a Request for Proposal process for a new Employee Engagement survey provider as Spencer Stewart had bought out that part of AON Hewitt’s business. As the survey tool and demographics had substantially changed as well, the time was ideal to see what other companies were offering in order to meet our survey needs.
We are happy to announce that after a thorough Request for Proposal process, we contracted with Metrics@Work to be our new employee engagement survey provider!
