Ole Miss is among the 54 four-year institutions selected nationwide out of 221 institutions surveyed.<\/p>\n<p>The results, which were released Monday (Sept. 14) in a special insert of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chronicle.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Chronicle of Higher Education<\/a>, recognized Ole Miss&nbsp;in five categories. The university has been recognized in 12 of the 13 years the award has existed.<\/p>\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; Chancellor Glenn Boyce said. &#8220;This accomplishment also reflects our strong commitment&nbsp;to fostering a supportive home for our faculty and staff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>UM was recognized in the following categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Employees&#8217; job satisfaction<\/li>\n<li>Work-life balance for employees<\/li>\n<li>Professional\/career development programs<\/li>\n<li>Supervisor\/department chair relationships<\/li>\n<li>Tenure and clarity process for faculty<\/li>\n<\/ul>\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<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<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 Noel Wilkin, UM provost and executive vice chancellor for academic affairs.&nbsp;<\/p>\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<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<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<p>ModernThink, a strategic human capital consulting firm, administered the survey and analyzed the results.<\/p>\n<p>For more information and to view all the survey results, visit the Great College Program website at <a href=\"https:\/\/greatcollegesprogram.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/greatcollegesprogram.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 The University of Mississippi has been named a &#8220;Great College to Work For&#8221; campus for the 12th year in a row.
