This programme has been developed specifically for people working in education. Be proactive in developing resilience in your teams to promote wellbeing, and to enable staff to deal with the challenges they face in education with energy and motivation.
The education sector has many unique challenges including navigating an everchanging environment whilst focusing on providing engaging education, supporting staff, pupils and parents. In addition, there are the multiple issues which arise on a daily basis within the school environment.
According to analysis by The Office Group (TOG) in 2019 the research has found that the education industry has the highest rates of stress reported by employees. With 82,000 reports of stress, depression or anxiety that have been exacerbated by work, affecting 2,370 employees per 100,000 (2.37%).
Stress has been proven to have a negative impact on performance, relationships, decision making and creativity. Stress itself is not an illness but if left unresolved it can result in more serious problems such as Anxiety and Depression.
