How are you monitoring data and measuring your impact?

Are you and your team checking the school portal ‘participation’ stats? What if you notice that a large percentage of year 6 girls, for example, are not taking part or attending clubs?

What do you do?

Survey the girls to find out ‘why’ it may be as simple as “we don’t like doing clubs with the boys” or “we don’t like getting changed in front of the boys.”

Solutions:

Survey the girls to find out ‘why’ it may be as simple as “we don’t like doing clubs with the boys” or “we don’t like getting changed in front of the boys” Girls only clubs or Allow girls to get changed separately! If these simple changes mean that 20 year 6 girls who previously were disengaged, then take part in a club you have had MASSIVE impact and it should be recorded as such in your impact report to school leaders.

Monitor, Measure, Intervene, Measure again!

What gets measured gets done but more importantly, what gets rewarded gets done again!

If the stats and evidence prove that schools cannot afford NOT to have you then they will always find the money! It’s as simple as that but more importantly, you are having a huge, positive impact on the lives of young people and supporting them to lead a happy and healthy life! Now what’s more rewarding than that?

Golden Girl Liz delivers WOW with every interaction...

This week in the Customer Solutions department, a parent had cause to call us regarding his concern that his child had been left at school following the cancellation of a course without any notification from the franchisee or activity professional. Liz jumped to the rescue and handled the situation by contacting the manager and also keeping the parent updated.

Not only was the situation resolved and dealt with quickly and efficiently but, better still, she turned a negative into a positive for the customer by taking his postal address and surprising his child with a load of Premier ‘goodies’!

Well done Liz!
