Working at PSD

Staff benefits and employee agreement

PSD employees enjoy a variety of benefits including medical, dental, vision insurance as well as supplemental insurance opportunities, wellness programs and retirement through the Public Employee Retirement Association (PERA).

PSD engages in interest-based bargaining with its three employee groups: Poudre Education Association, Association of Classified Employees and Poudre Association of School Executives. The employee agreement is negotiated each year and contains agreed upon language concerning working conditions, leaves, disciplinary matters, salaries and benefits.
 

Employee culture and climate survey

Human Resources, in partnership with the Association of Classified Employees (ACE), is asking all CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES to complete the Employee Climate and Culture Survey. Licensed Staff have traditionally been asked to share their perspectives and experiences through the Teaching and Learning Conditions Colorado (TLCC) survey. In an effort to ensure we hear feedback from ALL employees, we are asking you to respond to a series of short questions, so we can strategize to improve the experience for all staff and students. (Licensed Staff should only complete the TLCC survey)

 

Please complete the survey by Friday, Feb. 21, through one of these options:

1) Online (preferred) -  Employee Climate and Culture Online Survey

2) Download and print: drop off or mail to Human Resources to Human Resources, 2407 LaPorte Avenue, Fort Collins, CO 80521, or at the ACE office, 1502 S. Timberline Road, Fort Collins, CO 80524.

 

Questions about the Employee Climate and Culture Survey

  1. How is the survey created, and by whom? The survey is developed by the Human Resources leadership team benchmarked from the National Center for School Leadership and TLCC survey.

  1. What is the incentive to complete the survey? Completing the survey provides important and valuable information that will be used to create data-informed recommendations to improve our workplace. Results will be focused on providing specific feedback to school/department leadership. Additionally, the survey includes an opportunity to be entered in a drawing to receive a $50 cash incentive (one-time pay in your April paycheck). 

  2. Is the data anonymous? Absolutely! Links are not individualized and there is no way to identify respondents.

  3. What happens if the demographic information I respond to identifies me? (e.g. I am the only one in my department who is a certain race/ethnicity and gender) What about the information included in the drawing? No identifying data is reported under any circumstance. Any potentially identifying information is kept confidential and will not be shared with the school/department supervisor. All demographic information is optional and there is a “prefer not to disclose” option for all self-identifying information.

  1. Do I have to submit online? No, you can download and print a paper copy of the survey (English or Spanish) with the links above. You can mail or submit the paper versions of the survey in person at HR (2407 Laporte Avenue, Fort Collins, CO 80521) or through ACE (1502 S. Timberline Road, Fort Collins, CO 80524). 

  1. Will my supervisor or school/department leadership see the open-ended comments? No, only HR leadership will see the data and open-ended comments. Results will be shared with school/department leaders in the form of anonymous data and themes. 

  1. How will the data be used? HR Leadership will review and discuss key findings and create themes to present to school/department leadership and cabinet members with recommendations. The intent of this survey is not to penalize individuals/departments, but to create data-informed recommendations to improve our work place. 

  1. When is the survey due? Please complete the survey by Friday, Feb. 21.
