The Best Places to Work in New Jersey is a survey dedicated to identifying and recognizing the area’s best employers and providing organizations with valuable employee feedback.

NJIT wants and needs to understand staff and faculty experiences at the university. This survey will capture a set of data against which to measure our efforts to improve the employee experience and strengthen NJIT as a great place to work. The survey addresses eight core areas of focus:

  1. Leadership and Planning
  2. Corporate Culture and Communications
  3. Role Satisfaction
  4. Work Environment
  5. Relationship with Supervisor
  6. Training, Development and Resources
  7. Pay and Benefits
  8. Overall Engagement

Simply put, we need to hear from all faculty and staff in order to make measurable improvements to the employee experience at NJIT.

The online survey will be sent via email from “surveys@bestcompaniesgroup.com” on May 12, 2023, and there will be a 2-week window to complete the survey (close date is May 26). You will be able to complete the survey on your computer or mobile device. 

The survey should take 10-15 minutes to complete.
