Employees Don’t Quit Schools. They Quit the Way They’re Treated.
Many schools say they value their staff, but often fail to create an environment where teachers and administrators feel truly appreciated. This often leads to a high staff turnover rate in schools. For example, you may see new teachers every term in a school. This is a cause for concern because it also affects the academic performance of the students.
