Employee Engagement Software for Education
Education is facing a staffing crisis that threatens student outcomes. Teacher burnout is at an all-time high, substitute shortages force impossible coverage decisions, and institutional knowledge walks out the door every semester. Unmatched helps school districts, colleges, and universities measure staff engagement, detect burnout early, and build the supportive cultures that keep educators in the profession.
Education Workforce Challenges
The engagement problems keeping education leaders up at night — and why generic tools make them worse.
Over 44% of K-12 teachers report feeling burned out frequently, driven by increasing class sizes, administrative burden, student behavioral challenges, and a pervasive sense that the profession is undervalued. Annual surveys miss the semester-to-semester swings that precede mid-year departures.
The teacher shortage is not a supply problem — it is a retention problem. Districts lose 8% of their teaching staff annually, and replacing a single teacher costs $20,000 or more. When experienced educators leave, they take curricular knowledge, student relationships, and mentorship capacity with them.
Educational institutions operate on tight budgets with lengthy procurement cycles. Many settle for free survey tools that generate data nobody acts on, or expensive enterprise platforms priced for corporate budgets. Educators need affordable tools purpose-built for how schools actually operate.
In higher education, adjunct faculty teach over half of all courses but are often excluded from institutional feedback loops, professional development, and governance. Their disengagement directly impacts student experience and learning outcomes, yet most institutions have no structured way to hear their voice.
