Retention and Job Security

Job Security Index

The job security index is based on responses to questions that assessed staff's perceptions about the future of their jobs at the University, and if they consider it to be "unpredictable, uncertain, almost guaranteed, etc."

Overall, staff reported moderately low levels of job security across all four campuses and all job classifications, and that these perceptions remained relatively similar across 2004 and 2006.

Turnover Intentions

These graphs are based on responses to questions that assessed staff's intention to quit, such as "How often do you think about quitting your job?" and "How easy or difficult would it be financially for you to quit your job?"

Staff across all four campuses and all job classifications reported low intentions to quit their jobs. Staff on the Twin Cities campus reported the highest intentions to quit.
