History

Founded in 1980, Siena College is located in New York's Capital District.  The Siena College Research Institute (SCRI) began polling as a regional polling center and grew to be an important part of the political and economic discourse across the country.  Politicians, pundits, economists and the media all ask, “What did the last Siena Poll say?” When referring to statewide and national attitudes and opinions regarding economic sentiment, favorability of politicians and significant economic, political, social or cultural issues, people look to Siena.

Organizational Culture Study

Organizational culture is defined by how employees relate to their workplace, how they describe their organization and how they see their role of fitting into an organization. Culture is made up of values, perceptions and behaviors of employees. The organizational culture study seeks to measure the values and behaviors of your employees that contribute to the unique environment of your organization.

 

SCRI designed a proprietary study and score that measures behaviors and attitudes of an organization’s employees and generates a score based on the findings. The score represents organizational health and overall functionality.

  “I worked with the Siena College Research Institute to implement the Organizational Culture Survey to assist one of my clients in improving the culture at their firm. Having the entire organization participate in the survey gave me insight into all areas of the org and helped me identify where I could work with them to advance their work culture. It also helped the leaders of the organization gain an in-depth understanding of their team's perception of the culture as to how it relates to engagement, efficiency, responsiveness, and purpose. The SCRI made it a very seamless and easy process to engage in and the summary of the results was easy to comprehend and use.”
