Gallup Employee Engagement Report
What Is the Gallup Employee Engagement Survey?
The Gallup Employee Engagement Survey is a brief, research-based questionnaire that gives every HCS employee a voice. It helps us understand how staff experience their work, their teams, and the support they receive across the district.
Used nationwide in school systems and major organizations, the survey highlights what helps employees thrive and what hinders their experience.
Why Your Voice Matters
Every employee is part of the heart of Hamilton County Schools. Whether you work in a classroom, office, on a bus, in a cafeteria, or out in the field, your insight helps us understand what you need to feel supported and equipped to do your best work.
High participation gives us a clear picture of our strengths, where support is needed, and what helps employees stay, grow, and succeed.
When our staff thrives, our students thrive.
Why Participation Matters
Your feedback helps HCS to:
- Strengthen communication and trust

Every response contributes to a stronger experience for all employees.
