How PeopleBench helped.

  • Staff completed the short, anonymous Workforce Resilience Tracker survey online
  • Leadership team used the Workforce Resilience dashboard to measure staff resilience across 7 research-backed factors
  • PeopleBench debriefed the Principal and Leadership team and provided support and resources
  • The Leadership team engaged in conversations with staff on the results and collaborated on target initiatives

Results.

For leadership:

  • Ability to take a proactive, rather than reactive, approach to workforce resilience
  • Access to leadership dashboard for visibility of insights across resilience factors for the whole staff and groups within the school
  • Ability to take strategic action and measure results
  • Example initiatives include managing teacher collaborative and release time, managing work intensification, and health initiatives

 

For the school workforce:

  • Introduced teacher-led support initiatives
  • Established a care team for teachers to access support
  • Each staff member has a wellbeing component in their professional learning plans
  • Shift in mindset to understand the nature of resilience and how staff can contribute to their own wellbeing

What our clients say.

“It’s not just … a top-down approach. [Staff] are seeing that we’re in this together and wellbeing is everybody’s business. That’s the message we’re getting back. It’s not just us making them feel better about their workplace; it’s a shared responsibility.”

St Benedict’s School

“We’ve responded directly to the areas that weren’t our highest strengths in the Resilience Tracker. We were able to really use the data to identify our specific areas of concern and we’ve been able to put in strategies to address those specific areas. By going back to the Resilience Tracker and doing those surveys again, we should hope to see some difference in those scores. While we feel we’ve got a healthy staff wellbeing culture, we still found there are ways for us to improve.”

St Benedict’s School

“We’re dealing with the proactive level with our staff instead of the reactive level.”
