NAIS Workforce Webinar Series: Understanding Faculty Satisfaction in Independent Schools

What contributes to faculty satisfaction in independent schools, and where do schools face challenges? This webinar from the 2026-2027 NAIS Workforce Webinar Series explores key findings from the NAIS Faculty Satisfaction Survey, including faculty perspectives on job satisfaction, school culture, workplace relationships, compensation, benefits, and future career plans. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of what faculty value most in their work, where opportunities for improvement exist, and how schools can use these insights to strengthen recruitment, retention, and faculty engagement.
