Professional Learning - PeopleBench

A Professional Learning Community to belong to.

School leaders and HR Managers tell us it can be lonely to be the one to make all the workforce decisions.


Across the globe, schools are learning that their power to impact on student outcomes is directly influenced by the quality of the teaching workforces they can attract, retain, build and inspire.

The rise of Human Resource Management and Organisational Development as disciplines that schools need to be across can be tricky to navigate without others to talk to.

Expand your network and join us to share ideas, ask important questions and explore the future of high impact, fantastic teaching workforces.

Save time and stay up to date.

Access our latest findings, and enjoy our lovingly curated library of school workforce research from around the world (we know you don’t have time to build one for yourself)!

We search the globe to bring you new thinking about:


  • Supply and attraction of teachers
  • Recruitment and onboarding
  • Turnover and absenteeism
  • Retention
  • Professional development
  • Women in school leadership
  • Culture and climate
  • Wellbeing and resilience
  • Ageing workforce profiles
  • and more …

Access school specific tools and templates.


Our online Community of Practice is home to resources to help you with all aspects of building better school workforces.

Sign up for webinars, watch professional learning videos and enjoy our growing library of case studies from schools doing amazing things everywhere!

"I wish that something like PeopleBench had existed when I was a Principal!

I had to complete my Master of Human Resource Management and a Doctorate in Teacher Recruitment and Selection- because once I’d learned about HR as a discipline and the importance of workforce strategy I had my “ah-ha” moment.

This was exactly what schools were missing."
