Your staff are the backbone of your school and their wellbeing can make all the difference to your learning environment. We break down staff wellbeing into 8 core pillars.
Staff need to know that their work is having a positive effect on the lives of their students, and that they are making a difference.
Staff feel more motivated, engaged and self-confident when their work and efforts are appreciated and recognised.
Staff who are fulfilled in their role and believe they are good at what they do are more likely to bring passion to their work.
A positive or negative relationship with a manager can have a significant impact on staff performance and engagement.
Positive, supportive relationships with colleagues are key when dealing with the pressure of working in a school.
The most engaged and fulfilled staff feel that they fit in well and share the beliefs, mission and values of the school.
Most staff are motivated by career development, expecting to learn new skills and gain more responsibility as they progress.
Staff need to know that issues are being dealt with effectively by management and that the school is consistently trying to improve.
