This is the first step towards a new contract. The survey turns the conversations SHARE members have everyday -- about how things are going and what should change -- into data that helps us to figure out our collective priorities for contract negotiations. We want to make sure we include all opinions and ideas -- from SHARE members from all departments and all shifts, all ages and all jobs. (Many thanks to the hundreds of you who already filled out the survey!)
Here's the link: www.surveymonkey.com/r/SHARE2016
Topics on the survey include:
- What parts of working at UMass Memorial are satisfying, and what parts are not?
- Staffing Levels, Breaks, Lunches and Vacations
- Getting the Work Done and Process Improvement
- Co-Workers and Working as a Team
- Supervisors and Managers
- Training and Career Development
- The SHARE Union
- Your Priorities: What would help most to improve how it feels to come to work?
