Case study: Annual production analysis, measuring workplace trends across multiple productions

A one-year analysis spanning 22 productions examined broader workplace trends. This large-scale review provided the client with clear visibility into workplace dynamics, supporting policy refinement, improved talent retention, and strengthened work culture. It also created a benchmark for future productions, allowing them to monitor progress and continuously develop their production environment.

Metrics assessed

  • General workplace satisfaction
  • Likelihood of crew returning for future productions
  • Workplace conduct ratings

Key findings from data analysis

Productions achieving an average workplace category score above 4.5 out of 5 found that approximately 95% of their cast and crew desired to work with the team on subsequent projects.

A newly onboarded production company, using insights derived from the data, achieved on average 16% higher crew satisfaction than previous benchmarks.
