Culture Amp Update
I am pleased to confirm that all individual goals developed in ELMO earlier this year have been loaded onto the new Culture Amp platform. Attached below is a ‘how to’ guide and slides showing how to access and use the platform. I encourage you to access Culture Amp and check your profile to ensure all your goal information has been captured.
On Friday 14 July 2023, the termly reflection templates will be loaded into your Culture Amp profile; and per previous feedback, termly reflection templates for the remainder of the year will also be loaded for easy access. Once these templates are loaded, you will receive emails from notifcations@cultureamp.com.au advising you the templates have been loaded, which includes a link to take you directly into the platform. The templates contain the same questions as the ELMO reflections from Term 1. Culture Amp log-on details are included in the ‘How to’ guide and the slides document.
Please be aware that any Term 1 reflections and notes saved in ELMO have not been automatically transferred into Culture Amp. We have been unable to do this on the user’s behalf as we cannot access user profiles, on their behalf, to upload any information. Every effort has been made to ensure that any notes or reflections have been downloaded and/or copied and pasted. Over the coming weeks, if there are notes and reflections from your ELMO account these will be emailed to you so you can copy, paste and save into Culture Amp. If you believe you have notes and a Term 1 reflection and would like a copy of these immediately, please contact Fiona Murphy for a copy.
Principals are requested to please aim to have your Term 2 reflections completed by 4pm Friday 18 August.
For anyone who would like immediate assistance with Culture Amp, please contact Fiona Murphy or Tania Lund.
