Complete the Intention Questionnaire

The Intention Questionnaire is a survey distributed to specific employee groups — typically teaching staff — to understand whether employees are considering leaving the organisation. Completing it honestly helps HR have the right conversations at the right time.

  1. Open the Questionnaires tab

    From the ESS portal, go to My work in the Navigation bar, then click Questionnaires from the dropdown.

  2. Find the Intention Questionnaire

    Locate the questionnaire in the list.

  3. Start the questionnaire

    Click the questionnaire to open it, then click Start.

  4. Answer the questions

    Answer each question honestly. A key question asks whether you intend to leave the organisation — your response (Yes or No) determines whether HR follows up with you. Additional free-text fields allow you to provide context.
