<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">With challenging economic climates as the “new normal,” it is imperative that we find new ways to re-engage ourselves and those with whom we work. As reported by The Hay Group, organizations
with the highest engaged people outperform those with less disengaged workers. Further, employees who work in welcoming and “authentic” environments function at higher levels, feel more committed to their institutions, and are more likely to help others.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Knowing that your time is a commodity which is in short supply, would you please consider answering three questions regarding challenges you experience as an IR professional with regard to
resources, capacity, workload or compensation? Participation takes above five minutes or less, and all responses will be kept strictly confidential. Overall results will be summarized and shared with this group (OKAIR) and at an AIR conference roundtable
discussion in May. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
