The wellbeing of staff in schools has never been more important. With almost a third of new staff leaving the profession after just five years and 26% of teachers saying they are thinking of leaving in the next 12 months (National Foundation for Educational Research), we are facing a teacher retention crisis. The We Lead Well Podcast has been created in response to this crisis, to encourage and support schools to create places where people love to work. We support leaders to enhance the wellbeing of all staff in schools. Each week, leading educationalists share their experience, views and tips on how other school leaders can promote wellbeing in their organisations for the benefit of all staff.

In this episode Kimberly Evans of Nourish the Workplace joins us to discuss practical, low-cost strategies to improve staff wellbeing in schools. We explore building trust, intentional connections, flexible working, and simple systems improvements (like extra microwaves or reliable Wi-Fi) that reduce daily stress and help retain teachers.
Kimberly emphasises courageous, empathetic leadership: asking the right questions, listening with grace, delegating wellbeing roles, and creating a rolling plan of quick wins, medium-term changes, and larger projects. The conversation focuses on relationships, culture, and creating positive experiences that make staff feel valued and supported.
