<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">On <b><u>February 25</u></b>, all VU employees received an invitation to complete the VU Work Experience Survey (WBO). After 2 weeks the response rate for the Beta faculty and especially our department is rather low.
So possibly the e-mail got lost within the flood of e-mails you are receiving. But for a good picture of the perception of work within our department, it would be very helpful if the response rate would increase. Therefore, please take a moment to fill in
the survey. It does not take much time to complete (only 5-10 minutes). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For those of you who are concerned about anonymity: the WBO is conducted by the external research agency IVA. The VU has no access to individual responses or raw data. All data will remain with IVA; VU will only receive
aggregated and anonymized results starting at a group size of 10 respondents.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The survey is open until <b><u>March 18. <o:p>
