Staff Satisfaction & Retention Resources
Predict efficacy, satisfaction, and retention outcomes.
Spark surfaces the things leaders often feel but can’t quite name. It helps you understand the conditions that support your staff and the ones that are wearing them down. Staff experience is multi-dimensional, but there are certain conditions that make the biggest difference in whether people stay. Spark's 6 survey domains and 45 questions are grounded in research and help predict efficacy, satisfaction, and retention outcomes.

The Listen Framework
The LISTEN cycle is Attuned’s recommended process for helping school systems turn Spark survey results into meaningful improvement. It provides a clear sequence of steps leaders can follow to learn from staff feedback, prioritize focus areas, communicate next steps, implement changes, and monitor progress over time.

Trends in Staff Satisfaction in SY24-25 and SY25-26
We analyzed results from the Spark Staff Satisfaction Survey to identify trends in staff retention in the past 2 years. Across this sample, staff experience measurably predicts who stays. The most dissatisfied respondents left at roughly 3x the rate than those who were very satisfied.
