Ramapo College of New Jersey is once again one of the best colleges in the nation to work for, according to the Great Colleges to Work For® program.

The results are based on a survey of 194 colleges and universities. In all, 72 of those institutions achieved “Great College to Work For” recognition for specific best practices and policies. Ramapo College is the only college in New Jersey to be recognized.

“This recognition reaffirms for the Ramapo College community our intentionality towards building an inclusive and tight-knit community that is rich with talented and valued team members who serve together to make Ramapo a great place to work, study, and grow,” said Ramapo College President Cindy Jebb.

Ramapo College won honors in the Compensation and Benefits category this year. “Each employee plays a crucial role in supporting our students and creating a vibrant campus experience. I couldn’t be more proud of the work we do to provide a robust compensation and benefits plan to our dedicated employees,” said Virginia Galdieri, vice president of People Operations and Employee Resources at Ramapo College. “It is an honor that Ramapo College was named one of the best colleges in the nation to work for, and we are thrilled to have been recognized in this category.”

The Great Colleges to Work For® program is one of the largest and most respected workplace-recognition programs in the country. The survey results are based on a two-part assessment process: an institution questionnaire that captures employment data and workplace policies from each institution, and a survey administered to faculty, administrators, and professional support staff. The primary factor in deciding whether an institution received recognition was the employee feedback.
