“From the start, we knew that People Insight understood Higher Education, which really helped us in the design of our survey and the engagement of academic and professional services staff. The dashboard has made sharing feedback easy, engaging deans, directors and managers in their specific feedback so they can develop local action plans for improvement. We would highly recommend People Insight.”

Start your journey to improved employee engagement, retention and productivity

The leap forward in the professionalism of HR in the education sector means more and more HEIs and colleges are aiming to improve employee engagement. The benefits are significant; improving loyalty, support for your vision and values and critically – staff retention.

An anonymous staff survey can help you understand how engaged your staff are, why and what you can do to improve things. Our organisation scientists are experts at employee listening and can help you meet your HR goals, including:

  • Measuring staff engagement and general wellbeing;
  • Gathering evidence to improve the school experience and;
  • Understanding and addressing specific concerns from staff.

Move to an agile Higher Education listening strategy

We’ve helped HEIs evolve from infrequent employee surveys to a more agile, tech-forward approach, tackling engagement, diversity and inclusion, wellbeing and the challenges of new ways of working. With the most comprehensive HEI benchmarks of any employee survey provider, you’ll be able to see exactly how you compare to other universities, whether Russell Group, post 92, London or a group of your choosing.
