StandPoint™ Surveys

An organization’s most valuable asset is its people.

Yet medical schools spend millions on turnover and retention costs every year.

Your solution starts with StandPoint™ Surveys.

Employee performance and retention thrive when people enjoy their work and environment. StandPoint Surveys offers a series of research-validated faculty and staff engagement surveys tailored to academic health institutions, focusing on factors that drive engagement and retention.

By surveying with StandPoint Surveys, faculty and staff receive a confidential channel to provide honest workplace feedback and leaders receive actionable data to support the institution’s goals. Our surveys assess more than just how faculty and staff perceive their careers and workplace, evaluating critical drivers of satisfaction including workplace culture, prevalence of burnout and harassment, and availability of mentoring and feedback.

Our comprehensive, cost-effective approach to survey administration ensures the collection of rich and representative data that can be benchmarked alongside national peers and used to develop and implement strategies that result in positive organizational change.
