Other large employers should be surveyed as well. <br />Please complete the process by November 15, 1989. This will enable our <br />office to provide the reports to the state legislature and appropriate <br />state agencies earlier in the year. In addition, communities which submit <br />their completed surveys to us by October 23rd will receive special <br />consideration. <br /> <br />Changes in the survey package include additional questions relating to <br />employer benefit packages, more options for employer assistance, and also <br />better coding instructions included on the survey form. <br /> <br />Improvements in the reporting system will include more attractive printing <br />and layout of the report, a data digest, and customized news releases and <br />presentation package. <br /> <br />In addition, a Retail Retention Survey is now available for use. <br />Communities can also utilize this tool for identifying opportunities to <br />assist local businesses. The report for this survey will include only <br />tables for,your community, not regional or state. data. Please call me for <br />more information on this survey. <br /> <br />As always, the instructional video tapes are available for general <br />information or coordinator and volunteer training. An explicit program <br />manual is also available if you do not already have a copy. <br /> <br />Please call me if you have any questions at 612-297-1169.
