About PeopleBench.
Placing people at the heart of school performance.
- Why PeopleBench
PeopleBench emerged over a long journey working with educators on organisational strategy, design and change management in schools and school systems across Australia.
In 2017, we launched a research project to investigate the relationships between workforce variables and student outcomes, drawing on data from 22,000 students and nearly 3,000 staff across schools of varying sizes, locations and demographics.
The school leaders involved in this project saw value in this research and its resulting evidence base – and so did we.
In 2019, PeopleBench opened its doors to all schools across Australia.
