Staff Wellbeing Pillars

Meaningful work

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.

Appreciation and recognition

Staff feel more motivated, engaged and self-confident when their work and efforts are appreciated and recognised.

Job satisfaction

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.

Relationship with manager

A positive or negative relationship with a manager can have a significant impact on staff performance and engagement.

Relationship with colleagues

Positive, supportive relationships with colleagues are key when dealing with the pressure of working in a school.

Culture fit

The most engaged and fulfilled staff feel that they fit in well and share the beliefs, mission and values of the school.

Career development

Most staff are motivated by career development, expecting to learn new skills and gain more responsibility as they progress.

School management

Staff need to know that issues are being dealt with effectively by management and that the school is consistently trying to improve.
