Here’s your problem…
-77% of staff have experienced poor mental health because of their work.
-72% are stressed (rising to 84% for senior leaders).
-42% go into work even when unwell (rising to 54% for senior leaders).
-42% think the school’s culture has a negative impact on wellbeing.
-54% have considered leaving the profession in the last two years because of the pressure on their mental health.
(Statistics from Teacher Wellbeing Index 2021)
Here’s the benefit of solving this problem…
-Happy staff get promoted faster.
-They have 180% more energy than the average colleague.
-They are 108% more engaged in their job.
-They are 40% more confident.
-They are more creative.
(Statistics from Jessica Pryce-Jones’ research, 2010)
In short, happier staff in a happier culture will create higher performing teaching. Which in turn, can impact on children’s progress, achievement and personal development.
Here’s why what you’ve tried so far perhaps hasn’t worked…
-Wellbeing isn’t about putting cakes in the staffroom.
-Your current strategies might be more focused on ‘doing something nice’ than actually addressing cultural issues.
-Negativity might be left unchallenged and under supported.
-When you keep thinking in the same old way, you keep feeling the same old way.
-Not realising wellbeing comes from within and starts in your thinking.
How That Wellbeing Guy can help you…
-Develop a shared understanding of what wellbeing is and isn’t.
-Support staff to be able to reflect on their current habits and attitudes.
-Teach staff the knowledge they need to contribute to a positive school culture - and in turn, enhance their own wellbeing.
-Provide real life strategies to create a school culture filled positivity that also impacts on quality of education on offer.
How can we make this happen?
-For the first time ever, I am hosting an online wellbeing conference.
-Over the course of the morning we will explore in detail all of above.
-It is perfect for senior leaders, wellbeing leads, or anyone interested in raising the profile of wellbeing in school.
What you need to know…
-The conference is on Monday 31st January 2022.
-9am to 12pm - with a short break and an opportunity for networking with other colleagues through breakout rooms.
-Facilitated over Zoom.
-The cost? At just £50 +VAT, this course will be some of the best value per pound CPD your school could invest in.
I would love for you to join me at the conference.
As a bonus, all participants will be put into a draw to win a copy of my curriculum, Rebuilding Wellbeing.
-
Until next time.
Best wishes,
