1 Establish trust and rapport

Communication as an educational leader is not only about exchanging information, but also about building relationships. To establish trust and rapport with your teachers, listening actively and empathetically to their concerns, feedback, and ideas is essential. It's also important to show appreciation and recognition for their efforts and achievements, as well as providing constructive and timely feedback that helps them grow and improve. Additionally, it is necessary to share your vision, goals, and expectations clearly and consistently. Finally, inviting them to participate in decision-making and problem-solving processes can help foster a strong relationship.

In my experience as an educator, communication plays a crucial role in retaining teachers. Here are some ways you can use communication to retain teachers: Open and Transparent Communication: Foster a culture of open and transparent communication where teachers feel comfortable expressing their thoughts, concerns, and ideas. Regularly communicate with teachers to understand their needs and provide support. Active Listening: Actively listen to teachers and show empathy towards their concerns. Create opportunities for teachers to share their experiences and feedback. This will make them feel valued and heard, recognition and appreciation are great ways too.

2 Communicate frequently and effectively

As an educational leader, effective communication should be a continuous process. To ensure your teachers stay informed, engaged, and motivated, you should use multiple channels and formats to reach different audiences and purposes. Additionally, you should select the most suitable tone, style, and language for each situation and message. Furthermore, providing relevant and accurate information that is easy to understand and act on is essential. Moreover, encouraging dialogue and feedback that fosters collaboration and learning can help avoid communication gaps, overload, and ambiguity that can cause confusion and frustration.

Communicate. Just communicate. The one Achilles heal of Higher Education leadership is poor communication. Decisions are made, but often those decisions come as big surprises to those who are impacted the most. That causes distrust, confusion, and insecurity. When hard decisions must be made, get out of the Executive meeting room and talk directly to those who will be affected. Give them the dignity to speak into the situation and how they might contribute to the solution. This is obvious leadership stuff, so why do so many miss it?

3 Address conflicts and challenges

As an educational leader, it is important to address conflicts and challenges with your teachers in a constructive and productive manner. To do this, you should recognize and acknowledge the sources and impacts of conflicts and challenges, creating a safe and respectful space for dialogue and negotiation. Additionally, it is important to seek to understand and empathize with different perspectives and emotions, focusing on the issues rather than personalities. You should also aim to find common ground and solutions, as well as follow up and monitor the progress and outcomes of the resolution.

4 Support professional development

As an educational leader, you need to support the professional development of your teachers, so that they can grow and advance in their careers. This can be done through conducting regular and meaningful evaluations to identify their strengths and areas for improvement, providing coaching and mentoring to guide and challenge them, offering opportunities and resources for learning and improvement that match their needs and interests, celebrating and sharing their successes and best practices with others, and encouraging them to pursue their passions and aspirations. Communication is not only about the present, but also about the future--and these steps can help ensure that your teachers continue to develop in their career.

5 Seek feedback and improvement

As an educational leader, you need to seek feedback and improvement on your own communication skills to model and inspire excellence. This can be accomplished by requesting feedback from teachers and other stakeholders, reflecting on your strengths and weaknesses and setting goals for improvement, learning best practices and tips from experts and peers, experimenting with new communication methods and evaluating the outcomes of your efforts. Additionally, learning from mistakes can be beneficial in bettering your communication.

Understand the need of your faculty first. Whether it is financial or emotional. The main reasons someone opts to do a job is financial stability and mental satisfaction regarding the work. So as far as retention is concerned, if the management will understand their faculty and their need, it will be sorted automatically. Recognition of the effort in terms of financial benefits and appreciation can hold a person in their job. Also a balanced approach is needed here. If financial benefits are not there but appreciation is, it might work a very small section but not for all. Same will be the situation in the other case. So "PAY THEM WELL FIRST, THEN APPRECIATE THEIR WORK" after that they will definitely listen and stay.

One simple tip to make the previous recommendations happen is to block some time to communicate with each teacher in your schedule. Make sure the time you choose is good for that teacher too.
