Schools have many goals for their students such as ensuring they are:
receiving a premium education;
physically and emotionally cared for;
becoming independent, engaged, and enthused about their learning journey.
So, what are the input factors that influence these goals? Progressive leadership, solid policies, innovative curriculum, adequate facilities and resources are some that come to mind.
But by far the most influential factor is the staff. If the staff are healthy and their wellbeing is a priority for the school, then there is a much greater chance that they will be working to their optimum, creating an engaging and ‘healthy’ environment for the students.
It also makes sense to ensure the school focusses on staff wellbeing before small issues become larger, and take more time and effort to bring back to a healthy level. Being pro-active is the key – in engine terms – ongoing maintenance before a full rebuild is needed.
CHAMP Programs can assist schools in doing this through our 5-step program:
Developing an Employee Wellness, Support & Development Policy if none exists.
Designing and Implementing our Employee Wellness, Support and Development Survey.
Providing a detailed Report on the survey for school leadership.
Consulting with school leadership and staff to implement changes, training and development in line with the school’s needs and budget.
Evaluating progress, reviewing and modifying as required and returning to stage 2 to continue to progress.
Some distinct advantages of using our program are:
Most importantly the staff are being recognised and their opinions and feedback are being sought, with many opportunities for comments rather than just ticking a box.
The program including the survey, report and recommendations are addressing deeper concerns or issues
The ongoing contact, workshops and reviews allow a long-term strategic approach to staff wellbeing
Schools are also finding that the use of our program can help them meet their Psychosocial Risk Management obligations:
Identifying, Assessing, and Controlling risks, and then Reviewing using a follow up survey
Using a comprehensive survey to gain data relating to many psychosocial risks
Leadership being committed to a program to consult with staff and act on their findings
We would be happy to discuss our program in more detail with a view to helping you invest in your school in ‘Developing Happier, Healthier and More Positive Staff’, which as we’ve said in our heading, “…makes for healthier students”.
