Employee-retention concerns are prevalent across higher education, but the latest data from CUPA-HR shows workers in supervisory positions are being stretched thin. Their departures would have far-reaching consequences, leaving employees to adjust to new bosses and colleges to update succession plans, according to the survey.
CUPA-HR surveyed 3,815 higher ed administrators, professionals and nonexempt staff as part of its annual employee retention survey. A majority of respondents, 57%, were supervisors, and their responses indicated they largely felt under-resourced and overworked.
