Collin College named a 2020 Great College to Work For

Collin College is one of the best higher education employers in the nation, according to a new survey by The Great Colleges to Work For program.

The results are based on a survey of 221 colleges and universities. In all, 79 of the 221 institutions achieved Great College to Work For recognition for specific best practices and policies. The results are reported for small, medium, and large institutions, with Collin College included among the large colleges with 10,000 or more students.

A total of 299 surveys were completed for a nearly 50 percent response rate. Collin College received special recognition as an Honor Roll institution for the second year in a row, with honors in 10 categories this year:

• Collaborative Governance
• Compensation and Benefits
• Confidence in Senior Leadership
• Facilities, Workspace and Security
• Job Satisfaction
• Professional/Career Development Programs
• Respect and Appreciation
• Supervisor/Department Chair Relationship
• Teaching Environment (Faculty Only)
• Work/Life Balance

Collin College was named one of only four, large two-year Honor Roll institutions.

This is a very satisfying affirmation of Collin College, but our real goal is not recognition its being an educational institution that values the needs and contribution of every individual. In that sense, everyone at Collin College helps to make this a great place to work, said Collin Colleges District President Dr. Neil Matkin.

The survey results are based on a two-part assessment process: an institution questionnaire that captured employment data and workplace policies from each institution and a survey administered to faculty, administrators, and professional support staff. The primary factor in deciding whether an institution received recognition was the employee feedback.
