Agenda:

1) Update on Industry Report

• It is moving along. Employer information is key.
• Waiting for the survey analysis. Still analyzing the open ended responses.

2) Update on Analysis

• Employer Interview Summary of different categories of all the interviews
• Employee Surveys:open-ended responses

Mark walked us through the analysis of the open ended responses in the surveys.
People agreed with the type of analysis and we will keep moving it forward to give it to Taryn for the industry report.

The graph format is OK to visualize the results but CSW also wants the net count (excel)

We are analyzing all the responses without re-sampling. Re-sampling will be done later.
