Three of the biggest challenges facing the education industry today:

Values icons

Staffing pressures.

The UK education sector faces significant staffing pressures - a shortage of qualified teachers and support staff greatly affects the wellbeing of educators and other school personnel.

Institution leaders must review their wellbeing provision in order to attract and retain talent. 

Values icons

Budget cuts.

Vast budget cuts across the UK education sector have resulted in reduced funding and financial resources allocated to schools and higher education institutions.

This has led to significant challenges in providing quality education for students and wellbeing support services for educators.

Legacy systems.

New technology has accelerated opportunities for better process management, yet many educational institutions still have a siloed approach to wellbeing due to a lack of funding.

In order to streamline absence reporting and other HR processes, leaders must invest in replacing legacy systems with a futureproof approach to employee health management.

“We would recommend GoodShape to other organisations who want to streamline processes and reduce absence.”

HR Business Partner
Heathrow Express

“... when we are alerted to
high levels of absence, such as musculoskeletal problems in the factory, we can proactively address them because we now have clear trigger levels in place.”

HR Director
Philips

“Across 11,800 staff, GoodShape helped to recoup 33,040 working days within 12 months - or the equivalent of returning 144 full-time staff to work.”

HR Director
NHS Trust

“We estimate that we’ve saved £152,000 in terms of increased productivity and efficiency savings. This means that the absence service has provided a great return on investment, and having more employees available to work gives us a far greater opportunity to deliver a good service for our customers.”
