Why Surveying Your Staff is the First and Most Important Step To Creating Change in Schools with Adrienne Hornby | Episode 11

Have staff wellbeing initiatives you’ve offered in the past left you feeling disappointed that nothing changed or improved?

One mistake leaders often make is assuming they know what staff need or want, but the only way to know for sure is to ask them BEFORE we act.

When it comes to overhauling a whole school’s culture, we must have staff buy-in, and in order to achieve that, we need to involve them in the process of change – from allowing them to provide feedback to including them in co-creating a vision and implementing the changes necessary to create a thriving school environment. 

Anonymous Staff Wellbeing surveys are an excellent way to allow all staff to have a voice and collect valuable feedback that can help leaders implement meaningful changes. 

More than once, I’ve worked with schools where the leadership team felt they had a good understanding of what the priority areas were, but upon involving the staff in discussions, other priorities came to the surface instead.

In this week’s solo episode of the Well-Led School podcast, I walk you through 

• Why your school should run an anonymous staff wellbeing survey
• The benefits of anonymous staff wellbeing surveys
• How to effectively survey the staff in your school
• The four sections of my Anonymous Staff Wellbeing Survey
• Some of the data that has emerged in the last 12 months of running and analysing surveys of schools across Australia
