Staff rep: Work-Life results not surprising

By Blair Thomas

The results of UK‘s recent Work—
Life Survey are an accurate assessment
of the opinions of most employees. ac-
cording to staff representatives.

“1 don‘t think there w as anything in
the results of the Work—Life Survey that
was surprising." Staff Senate Chairman
Kyle Dippery said. “We knew people
were dissatisfied and this survey just
gave us the opportunity to see how

widespread those feelings really were."

The results of the survey reported
that 30 percent of UK staff and 40 per-
cent of the faculty are dissatisfied with
their jobs.

Employees‘ main concerns were
salaries. research funding. university re-
sources. educational funding and do—
mestic partner and child benefits. ac-
cording to UK President Lee Todd.

The survey was conducted in Octo-
ber 2005. before issues such as the plan
for UK faculty to receive a higher pay

 

increase than the staff came about. but
opinions of employees regarding their
value in the workplace haven‘t
changed.

"I don‘t think things have changed
any since the time this survey was con“
ducted." Dippery said. “There were a
couple of issues that came up that had
people upset but basically people who
were satisfied then are still satisfied
and the same goes for those who were
unhappy with their role at UK."
