month or quarterly bonuses based on work merit.

As the highest rated factor, it indicates that employees feel that PTI Employees continue to feel their tasks and duties give them a feeling of personal accomplishment, and their job makes use of their skills and abilities.
Value: Feeling Valued is trending higher for all departments for 2021. This means employees are feeling more appreciated when it comes to their job or tasks.

Two follow-up reminders were sent within the 14-day response period to every employee after the initial launch of the survey. Future survey-administrators should look at using more reminders for advertising the survey. (click)
Speaker Notes:
The general assessment is that employees gave an overall climate rating of 85.68% from the previous overall rating of 86.7% based on the 2020 survey which is a very slight decrease under the 2020 survey This was minor decrease of 1.02% from 2020 to 2021.

Insights:
(Provide your insights)
While there was a marked improvement between 2019 and 2020 [*insert possible reasons], there was a slight decreased regression from 2020 to 2021 [**insert possible reasons], .
This could be due to:
*a correlation between being able to work remotely and a higher employee sentiment
*Virtual meetings replaced conference rooms;
*Taking breaks at-home
This could be due to:
**workers remain concerned about potential job losses or having their work hours cut
**workers are stressed they may catch the virus.
**workers worry about wearing the personal protective equipment and instituting safety procedures.
Speaker Notes:
The 2021 Climate Survey Report measures PTI’s climate by examining 3 focus areas and 10 factors that provide information on culture attributes for People’s Trust Insurance Company

Speaker Notes:
This is a visual display of the average ranking by all respondents.
The 10 organization climate factors received an overall rating on a five-point scale. The overall average ratings/scores range (0.98) from 3.69 for stress/role overload and to 4.66 for Motivation (refer to Figure 4). Since the average rating of the PTI’s climate by factors has a moderate range (nearly 1 factor point, 3.68-4.66), a careful review of PTI’s performance on each factor is needed to identify areas of significance.

Insights:
(Provide your insights)
Speaker Notes
A majority of respondents, 67% are employees who have worked at PTI for 3 years or less, while 45% of employees have worked for PTI between 4 to 10 years. Seven percent (7%) of employees have remained with the organization for over 10 years
Speaker Notes
Overall Employee’s Work Environment: PTI’s work environment abruptly shifted from at-the-office to a remote work environment in March 2020. Today, the workforce is still primarily (55%) remote working, and 22% are working mainly at-the-office. At present, there is a shift back into the office by having employees work at-the-office a few days a week (23%) as a hybrid work environment currently shows.
Speaker Notes
Factor Statement Determination by Employee’s Work Environment:
• Motivation: employees who worked remotely and hybrid were more motivated than those who were at-the-office.
What is interesting to note here is - current surveys have shown contrary results – where employees who work from the office are often the most motivated.
These surveys also reveal that when employees do not have a choice about working from a particular environment, they were least motivated. That is, if employees mandatorily had no choice in working from a remote work environment or at-the-office environment, then whatever the choice, employees where least motivated to work in that environment. This is probably why the hybrid work environment, where employees can utilize both remote and at-the-office work environments, scored the highest on the survey.
• Stress: Employees who work at-the-office experienced the highest levels of stress while those who work remotely experience the least stress.
Again, this is contrary to current research - which asserts that employees in remote work environments are usually most stressed because they work more hours than they had while working in the office, less collaboration, and unable to “shut off” in the evenings. According to the climate survey results above, employees at-the-office are experiencing higher stress levels. Several unverified reasons may account for this, such as, additional commute-related stress, interruptions from colleagues, office politics, a noisier work environment, and a less comfortable and personalized work environment.
• Safety: Remote employees have the perception that PTI provides a safe working environment for employees.
This suggests that people feel safer in a remote working environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, where essentially the entire organization shifted to working from home to prevent exposure spread of the coronavirus.
Speaker Notes
Answers to the three open-ended questions fell into the common categories of satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Satisfaction and dissatisfaction at work result from different factors and are not simply opposing reactions to the same factors. What we found was that employees who felt satisfied about their jobs gave very different responses from the employees who were dissatisfied. Meaning…if we were to remedy the causes of dissatisfaction, this will not create satisfaction. Nor will adding the factors of job satisfaction eliminate job dissatisfaction. (The opposite of Satisfaction is No Satisfaction. The opposite of Dissatisfaction is No Dissatisfaction).
Satisfiers (Areas of Satisfaction)
Among the categories and themes related to job satisfaction - Interpersonal relationships with co-workers and leaders play a significant role in motivating employees at PTI. Where interaction with coworkers and attentiveness of supervisors provide daily satisfaction to most employees. Additionally, PTI’s work environment and culture contribute to inspiring and stimulating employees. Employees mention that PTI’s work environment is considered positive, pleasant, and has a professional atmosphere and because PTI is always thinking about its employees, it feels like a family.
Dissatisfiers (Areas of Desired Change)
From the respondent’s perspective, the major dissatisfier at PTI was the inflexibility of Working Remotely. While those who were able to work remotely scored this theme as a high satisfier, those who did not have remote working options, scored this theme as a major dissatisfier. Additional dissatisfiers are human resource related themes, where respondents discussed a need for better PTO/Benefits in health insurance benefits, more Federal and religious holidays, and competitive salaries. Health and Safety dissatisfiers focus on the lack of having an employee mental health program (i.e., better mental health benefits, well-being/mental health/mindfulness seminars, discounted gym memberships, etc.), and Work/Life Balance dissatisfiers that focus on the implementation of a permanent remote working environment or a hybrid work environment for all employees to better handle issue of childcare, pedagogical education, and work life issues.

Key detractors are what employees say they would like to change about their working conditions at PTI – Detractors are obstacles or impediments that cause dissatisfaction and unhappiness among our employees. Key detractors are what immediately comes-to-mind when an employee is asked, “What advice would you give to management to make things better?”
Working Remotely: Employees feel the opportunity to work from home can make them more successful and productive, and would like some type of permanent option after the pandemic.
PTO/Benefits: Employees feel that health insurance should be more reasonable and affordable. More competitive health benefits and PTO/Sick time will make employees feel safe and more secure.
Communication and Transparency: Employees feel that better communication between departments is important, especially, when there are changes in protocol and new initiatives are being implemented. Employees suggest a companywide (virtual) meetings with leadership so they can communicate future company projects and activities. Also, more leadership transparency from the top-down is especially important since employees want to know how they contribute to the “big-picture.” Employees feel they are siloed and want to feel they are part of a bigger team.
Growth and Learning: Employees feel additional training opportunities and workshops will help them refine their duties and responsibilities.
