From voice to impact: Embedding staff feedback into trust culture

In this session, we'll hear real-life practical examples of how Infinity Academies Trust and Ted Wragg Trust have led meaningful change by listening deeply to their staff. We'll learn about their use of listening tools to turn feedback into co-created initiatives - from overhauling appraisal systems, and shaping people development programmes, to codifying values into everyday behaviours. You'll gain insight into their approaches and challenges in creating environments where people feel heard, valued, and supported, strengthening trust-wide culture.
