Ole Miss is among the 54 four-year institutions selected nationwide out of 221 institutions surveyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results, which were released Monday (Sept. 14) in a special insert of <strong>The Chronicle of Higher Education<\/strong>, recognized Ole Miss&nbsp;in five categories. The university has been recognized in 12 of the 13 years the award has existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Being recognized as a &#8216;Great College to Work For&#8217; 12 years running is a distinction we can all celebrate together because our culture is built by the countless individuals who go the extra mile and contribute to who we are as a caring community,&#8221; <strong>Chancellor Glenn Boyce <\/strong>said. &#8220;This accomplishment also reflects our strong commitment&nbsp;to fostering a supportive home for our faculty and staff.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UM was recognized in the following categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Employees&#8217; job satisfaction<\/li><li>Work-life balance for employees<\/li><li>Professional\/career development programs<\/li><li>Supervisor\/department chair relationships<\/li><li>Tenure and clarity process for faculty<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The recognition is a tremendous honor that was earned through teamwork and dedication to the mission of preparing the next generation of leaders, Boyce said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m grateful for&nbsp;the tremendous time and talent that our faculty and staff dedicate to our mission day in and day out,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The long-standing, consistent recognition for the university is a reflection its faculty and staff&#8217;s commitment to fostering a rewarding work environment, said <strong>Noel Wilkin<\/strong>, UM provost and executive vice chancellor for academic affairs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It is a testament to the outstanding people who develop and administer our policies, implement our practices, and provide development opportunities that affect so many aspects of our work and lives,&#8221; Wilkin said. &#8220;It is also a reflection of the people who work here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Colleagues affect so much of how we experience the workplace, and it is clear that their contributions also help to make this a &#8216;Great College to Work For.'&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey results are based on a two-part assessment process: an institutional 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 employee feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ModernThink<\/strong>, a strategic human capital consulting firm, administered the survey and analyzed the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information and to view all the survey results, visit the<strong> Great College Program <\/strong>website at&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/greatcollegesprogram.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/greatcollegesprogram.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Staff Report<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"25\" height=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/TheLocalVoiceLigature-25web.jpg?resize=25%2C16\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14544\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ole Miss recognized for employee job satisfaction and work-life balance, among other categories The University of Mississippi has<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":238,"featured_media":102070,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,17687,15309],"tags":[16082,17066,17067,14749],"class_list":["post-102101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ole-miss","category-university-of-mississippi","category-university-events","tag-chancellor-glenn-boyce","tag-great-colleges-to-work-for","tag-modernthink","tag-noel-wilkin"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/US-News-2.jpg?fit=1366%2C680&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/238"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102101"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102101\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102070"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
