Inside Higher Ed: Office Staff Feeling Overworked
Eighty-four percent of clerical and technical employees say that unrealistic workloads are a concern at their college, and nearly that many report their quality of work suffers as a result, according to a survey from the American Federation of Teachers.
The group’s “Office Employee Workload Survey,” presented Friday at the AFT-National Education Association Higher Education Conference, looked at 638 responses, 155 of which came from college employees, most of whom are from community colleges. (The report notes that the Web-based, self-selecting survey shouldn’t be viewed as scientifically accurate, but rather as illustrating broad workload issues.)
