To support organizations in creating even better places to work, Leading Edge conducts an annual Employee Experience Survey. A total of 3,422 employees across 55 Jewish organizations responded to the pilot survey in 2016, answering questions about questions about workplace culture, the factors that drive their levels of engagement at work, and what motivates the likelihood that they will stay in or leave their organizations—and the Jewish nonprofit sector as a whole.
