Two Populations, One Institution, One Platform

A university is a workplace and a place of study at the same time, and the two populations do not share a vocabulary. The university edition asks students about study, supervision and belonging in the words they use, while staff can run the workplace edition, with its psychosocial hazards duty, on the same platform.

What you get from running both

The Comparison Nobody Usually Has

Institutions routinely measure student experience and staff engagement in separate systems, on different models, a year apart. Running both here means the same underlying model, the same period and the same benchmark methodology, so "are our students struggling more than our staff" becomes a question with an answer.

Organisations that have run the evaluation (sometimes called a staff or student wellbeing survey) include the University of Melbourne, Melbourne Business School, Kansas State University, Old Dominion University, Northern Kentucky University, Monash University Community Services and IDP Education.

Questions

Questions People Ask

Can we measure students and staff in the same period?

Yes. Both run on the same model, in the same period, with the same benchmark method, so the two results can be compared directly.

Does it cover psychosocial hazards for academic staff?

Yes. The university edition carries the psychosocial hazards module, reported through four standards.

What about students studying in a second language?

Read-aloud covers seventeen languages, and there are three ways to answer: a conversation, a card deck or a classic form.

Can we benchmark against other universities?

Benchmarks are per edition, so you are compared with other institutions running the university edition.
