Teacher Turnover: A Costly Challenge💸

In every industry, employee attrition drains both money and productivity. The age-old wisdom of 'hire right and keep them happy' remains crucial today. However, a startling 51% of current employees are actively seeking new opportunities (Gallup's State of the Global Workplace 2023 Report), with 57.3% leaving their job (Zipia, Employee Turnover Statistics, Feb. 2023). These statistics are even more troubling for school leaders that are challenged by teacher attrition.

The silver lining lies in solutions for teacher turnover, provided school leaders listen and respond to employee needs. Often, employees hesitate to share the true reasons for leaving, fearing repercussions for future references.
