Why Every School Needs a Staff Wellbeing Framework | Season 3: Episode 3
In this solo episode, I reveal why a structured Staff Wellbeing Framework is the key to reducing burnout, improving retention and fostering a thriving school culture. Many schools believe they’re supporting staff wellbeing, but without a clear framework, efforts often rely on scattered initiatives like self-care workshops and social events—leaving the deeper causes of stress and burnout unaddressed. It’s time to shift from reactive, one-off solutions to a strategic, lasting approach that truly supports educators.
In this episode, I break down:
- The true purpose of a Staff Wellbeing Framework and how it differs from general wellbeing initiatives
- The biggest misconceptions about implementing a Staff Wellbeing framework
- Why a wellbeing framework is essential for schools struggling with burnout, high turnover, cultural issues or major changes
- How schools with already strong cultures can further enhance their staff wellbeing strategies
- A step-by-step approach to embedding a Staff Wellbeing Framework that actually works
