Messy staffroom? If staff only have 15 mins to get to the staffroom, eat their lunch & go to the toilet, then they are very likely to dump & run. Instead of berating them for being messy, investigate why they are being messy. Workload issues show up in many different ways.

📣 I say staff well-being matters—but continue to question whether our systems make it possible? There are risks that time off is met with stress, guilt, or extra work for others. Culturally , mutual support should be a given, not a favour.
