2022 Staff Survey Results Show Overall Improvement

posted May 16, 2022

The results are in for our 2022 Workplace survey, and we're happy to share that we increased our overall scores and had more engagement than last year!

The annual survey measures how our employees feel about workplace values, employee appreciation and development, productivity and retention, leadership, and other engagement indicators. 

According to this year's employee feedback, our strengths include:

• Clued-in Leaders
  • Employees think senior leaders understand what's happening in the district.
• Direction
  • Employees believe the district is heading in the right direction.
• Meetings
  • Employees feel meetings make good use of their time. 
• Clued-in Employees
  • Employees feel informed about important decisions.

The results also show that 85% of our employees feel that their job is meaningful — a stat that we love to see! 

"I work with amazing students who show me a new way of seeing the world," said one survey respondent about why they love their job. "I feel seen and heard by most of my superiors. Our school is willing to try new ideas and offer amazing opportunities to our students and staff to help us feel and do our best on and off the job."

While we love celebrating the positive results, the survey is primarily used to show us where we can improve. This year's results gave us three areas we plan to focus improvement efforts:

• Strengthening district values
• Ensuring employees' concerns are heard and cared for
• Creating an environment where employees feel included

We hope that this time next year, we're reporting that our scores in those categories have increased. It's vital for us to make these improvements each year to ensure the success of our staff members.

Thank you to every one of our staff members who participated in this year's survey! We look forward to using your feedback to continue growing our strengths and improving our focus areas for you and our students.
