What our clients say.

We know that the [teaching] gig is a hard one, so let’s make our workforce and our place of work the best possible place it can be for our teachers and for our staff.

  • Samantha Jensen – Principal

Being able to cut the data in ways that will really target some of the things that we want to be doing with our staff to really improve their work life has been enormously helpful so far.

I think every good educator knows that Keep It Simple is always the best in terms of communicating high level information with ease. The dashboard does a magnificent job of that.

  • Samantha Jensen – Principal

There are plenty of metrics that are used in looking at workforces more broadly, but I think the fact that PeopleBench had a particular eye on education was really attractive to me.

The strategy itself can be tailored to an individual school. It’s definitely not a cookie cutter approach. I think the capacity for the tool to allow for that has been really a game changer.

  • Samantha Jensen – Principal

The board of the college has been very happy from a risk point of view to see that the school is taking staffing so seriously and so appropriately as a real key feature of the work that we are doing operationally.

  • Samantha Jensen – Principal

[PeopleBench] is providing such a much longer-term, more sustainable way of thinking about staffing across the college, supporting staff and ensuring that we have a really sustainable workforce moving into the future.
