Purpose and Methodology

The City Manager’s Office administered an online employee survey for the City of Lawrence

during the summer of 2015. This was the fourth time the City of Lawrence had conducted a

comprehensive survey of employees. The other surveys were conducted in 2002 by GRI

Research and Training; in 2005 and 2008 both were administered by ETC Institute. The purpose

of the survey was to objectively measure employee perceptions regarding a wide range of issues

including:

overall satisfaction with employment at the City

equipment and resources

safety

Page 9: 2015 Employee Survey - Lawrence, Kansas › assets › cmo › employee-survey...included in the 2015 survey. All of the job-related topics were covered from previous surveys. Compared

working environment

compensation and benefits

customer service and community relations

leadership and managerial effectiveness

employee recognition

communication

professional development

policies and procedures

city commission

ethics in government

satisfaction with internal customer departments

Participation in the survey was voluntary and employees were allowed to complete the survey

during work hours. In order to maintain confidentiality on the online survey, most of the

demographic questions were removed except two regarding department and supervisory status.

The survey was 72 questions long and took an average of 15-20 minutes to complete, 567

employees completed the survey representing 67% of the workforce. The sample was

statistically representative of all major departments and the demographic composition of the

City’s labor force. The overall results have a 95% level of confidence with a precision of at least

+/- 3%.

Many of the prior questions contained in the Employee Surveys from 2002, 2005, and 2008 were

included in the 2015 survey. All of the job-related topics were covered from previous surveys.

Compared to previous employee surveys, the number of questions in the 2015 was much lower

but also provided employees more opportunity for open-ended responses.

Employee Satisfaction Survey 2015

The City of Lawrence would like to know how you feel about your job. Your cooperation in completing

this survey would be greatly appreciated. To ensure the objectivity of this survey, the identity and

responses of every employee will remain strictly confidential. Findings from this survey will not be

reported in a way that would reveal the identity of any individual respondent, only you will know how you

respond to the questions on this form.

This survey was initiated by the City to give an overall barometer of employee satisfaction about various

job related topics. The survey contains some of the same questions that were included on the City's 2002,

2005, and 2008 employee surveys. By answering these questions, you will be providing important

information that will help us work together to recognize our successes and make improvements where

necessary.

Please note only two demographic questions will be asked at the end of the survey: department and

supervisory status. The final results will be analyzed by department and globally. Department level data

will be provided for review to the respective departments.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.
