Discover how evidence-based workforce strategies can reshape your school’s future with the release of the 2025 Report on the State of the Queensland Independent School Workforce.
This report is the culmination of the State of the Independent School Workforce project—a collaborative initiative between ISQ and PeopleBench. Building a strong workforce starts with understanding what it’s like to work in a Queensland independent school; the best way for us to understand was to ask and listen to the voice of current staff through a comprehensive workforce survey.
By participating in the research project, school leaders helped create a sector-wide understanding of workforce strengths, risks, and opportunities.
Deeper insights for Participating ISQ Schools
Schools that participated not only contributed to this sector-wide evidence base but will also benefit from an individual report summary benchmarked against anonymised results from across Queensland, equipping you with a clear view of your strengths and opportunities.
Whether you’re leading a school turnaround or preparing for your next strategic phase, this report acts as both a roadmap and a toolkit for success.
At PeopleBench, we take a research-to-practice approach to driving school workforce improvement through data-driven insights, innovative tools, and actionable strategies. We understand that workforce planning is critical to achieving your strategic priorities. That’s why our research is designed not only to inform but also to inform principals to make decisions that transform their schools and empower you with the knowledge to make your school a great place to work and learn.
Move from good intentions to evidence-informed actions on your people priorities.
