1 About the 2016 Employee Survey The first Cornell Employee Survey in 2011 was a response to a resolution from the Employee Assembly calling for a study to better understand staff engagement. This second administration of the survey was administered from October 6 to November 28, 2016 to nonacademic staff and librarians.
