29. Interpreting the Response Average SCOREINTERPRETATION GUIDE An excellent outcome that indicates a real commitment on behalf of the organisation to address this issue in a tangible and relevant manner. Maintain vigilance and continue to adapt to the changing nature of the educational environment. A fair to good score that reflects a level of satisfaction on this issue. However, it falls short of an “employer of choice” status. Continual and increased focus on this issue is recommended. A poor result that suggests a core level of underlying dissatisfaction on this issue. Investigation and corrective action required. There are significant issues for concern. This score reflects an unhealthy disconnect on this issue between the current situation and the needs and/or expectations of staff. Major corrective action required. 1-2 2-3 3-4 4-5
