Improving Staff Retention in Academies
Addressing staff wellbeing issues, such as stress and feeling overworked, is a crucial step towards creating a more supportive, productive, and overall positive school environment. Poor wellbeing can lead to an increased risk of resignation; therefore, exploring and tackling this issue is an essential step for school leaders to consider.
10,530 teachers, school leaders, administrators and other staff members at 322 academies across England have responded to the Edurio Staff Wellbeing and Working Conditions Survey. Effectively, the Improving Staff Wellbeing in Academies survey report not only establishes just how many staff members are currently at risk of resigning but also dives deeper into the driving forces behind their decisions to stay or go.
