Survey on Recruitment, Leadership, and Equality

Dear Participant,

In recent years, scientific institutions and universities have been racing to introduce new HR policies and tools. Some of these changes are driven from the top down, often in response to requirements from grant providers, while others are motivated from the bottom up.

The critical question we now face is: Are these changes being implemented in a way that genuinely resonates with the employees and leaders they are meant to serve?

That’s why we are asking you, the individuals who experience these changes firsthand. We believe it would be unfortunate for institutions to invest significant resources into changes that go unnoticed or unappreciated. Your feedback is crucial in helping us understand whether the initiatives in recruitment, leadership, and gender equality are having the intended impact.

Time to complete the survey: 7-15 minutes

This survey is part of the Alliance4Life initiative, and your responses will help shape the future direction of HR policies across 12 institutions. Your answers are completely anonymous, and your honest input is highly valued.

Thank you for taking the time to share your insights.
