Retention Starts Long Before Someone Decides to Leave

Give your school a powerful picture of your workplace culture. See what faculty say about their experience and whether your school’s actual value proposition aligns with what employees say matters most to them.

The SAIS Faculty Motivation & Engagement: Designed for Connection facilitated workshop guides your team through the results of your school’s Motivation and Engagement Survey, alongside SAIS’s Employee Value Proposition (EVP) research, Designed to Last, and The First Years Matter, our research on early career educators. 


What are the benefits of the SAIS Faculty Motivation & Engagement: Designed for Connection?

This workshop creates the conditions for honest, productive leadership conversations, connecting data to decisions and setting a clear direction for retaining and developing the people who make your school exceptional.

  • Interpret faculty survey results across belonging, autonomy, leadership effectiveness, and recognition.
  • Connect your results to SAIS’s EVP research to understand how your school’s lived culture aligns with what independent school employees value most.
  • Identify strategic opportunities to strengthen faculty retention, professional satisfaction, and long-term commitment.
  • Schools that deploy the student version of the survey may choose to include a review of student results alongside faculty data, creating an overall view of school culture from both perspectives.
