Ask staff to identify what impacted them both positively and negatively during the interview process, onboarding, professional development opportunities, and the evaluation process
When asking staff to reflect on their experiences during the interview and onboarding process, professional development opportunities, and evaluation process, it’s important to create a safe space for them to share their thoughts openly and honestly. Start by setting the context for the discussion and reminding them that their feedback is valued and will be used to improve the process for future hires and current staff. Encourage them to share both positive and negative experiences, as both are equally valuable in shaping the school’s recruitment and onboarding strategies. Consider using open-ended questions to guide the conversation and encourage participants to reflect on specific moments or interactions that stood out to them. Finally, make sure to follow up on the feedback provided and take action to address any concerns or issues raised.
