Welcome to the Survey
GOING PAPERLESS AT PMCPOA
Hi Everyone, this is Mia:

For my management course I am writing a paper on change in the workplace and I am personally inviting you all to give a little feedback about the changes happening in the PMC office.
If you would not mind sharing some of your ideas, I thought it would be so much more interesting and pertinent to my studies to examine a real-life situation of change in the workplace.
It will take approximately 5-15 minutes to complete the questionnaire depending on whether or not you opt to complete written questions.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and you can withdraw from the survey at any point. Also, please answer as many OR AS FEW of the questions as you feel to. No question *requires* an answer.

Your survey responses will be totally anonymous and strictly confidential, and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential. If you have questions you may text me at 661-489-1008 or email me at [email protected].

Thank you so much for your time. I am very much looking forward to getting your responses. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Next button below.
