Burnout Is Driving Teachers Away

55% of teachers plan to leave the profession earlier than expected due to burnout. With 44% feeling burned out “often” or “always,” the teaching profession is facing an unprecedented retention crisis.

Teachers don't feel supported

The percentage of teachers who strongly agree that someone at work cares about them has dropped by 22% since 2020. This lack of support is eroding morale and making it harder for teachers to stay engaged.

Stress Is Higher in Education Than Anywhere Else

The burnout rate of K-12 teachers is 14% higher than in other industries. With 44% experiencing constant stress compared to 30% in other sectors, teaching is one of the most demanding professions.

Celebrate Milestones Without Extra Work

From work anniversaries to years of service, Nectar automates milestone celebrations so every teacher, custodian, tech, and admin feels appreciated—without adding to your to-do list.

Testimonials

What our customers are saying

“I credit Nectar with keeping our engagement from taking a huge hit during challenges that the business has faced. Like many companies, we went through a huge cost saving exercise over the last 6 months... but I will tell you it was NEVER an option for leadership to consider canceling or changing the Nectar contract. It's too important to who we are.”
