SURVEY RESULTS SHOW MAJORITY OF RCS STAFFERS ARE SATISFIED WITH EMPLOYMENT

(Richmond, IN)--The numbers are up for the percentage of Richmond Community School teachers and employees in terms of job satisfaction.  The results of an annual cultural survey were discussed at Wednesday afternoon’s RCS Board meeting.  Just over 250 RCS employees responded to the survey.  61% say they’re satisfied with their jobs.  Another 34% are somewhat satisfied, and that’s up from last year.  "You can see a 3.8% growth in job satisfaction from 'somewhat satisfied' to 'satisfied'," explained   Jamie Bolser with RCS.  As for staffers who are not satisfied, here are the reasons:  "student discipline and behavior and a lack of effective communication," Bolser said.  79% of RCS staffers say they would recommend working for the district.
