Good Leadership is Essential for Preventing Teacher Burnout

According to research by global recruitment specialist, HAYS, 70% of teaching professionals have admitted to feeling drained after work. Another 62% have said they often feel stressed at work, and furthermore, 20% of new teachers leave within their first two years due to teacher burnout.

Happy teachers lead to retention

As well as creating a better workplace culture and improving communication, great leadership can help teachers feel valued and supported and decrease teacher burnout. This leads to better retention, and as a result, reduced staff turnover. Not only does retention remove the burden of recruitment, but it also improves teaching quality, therefore creating a better experience for students.
