Why you need this report
If you are focused on improving staff engagement in higher education, you need to understand what is driving day to day experience, not just how people feel once a year.
In HE, employee engagement is shaped by specific points in the employee journey. Think onboarding, workload spikes, line management changes, career progression, returning from leave and periods of organisational change. These are the moments that matter. When you listen at the right time and act on what you hear, you build trust, increase confidence in leadership and improve the experience people share with colleagues.
This report shows how to identify those moments, capture feedback without creating survey fatigue and turn insight into action that staff can see.
