Investing in staff wellbeing in schools delivers benefits that extend far beyond individual staff members.

Workplace belonging is a key component of a positive workplace culture. Schools foster belonging when they unite staff around a shared purpose and create an environment where everyone feels accepted, respected and recognised.

Studies show that workload is the single biggest contributor to the burnout of teaching staff in schools.  Yet despite increasing interest in improving the wellbeing of staff, many schools seem reluctant to address workload effectively.

Research from around the world shows that staff working in schools have lower levels of wellbeing and higher levels of burnout than the general population.
