Support compliance with background check requirements
The education sector has a legal duty to uphold the safety of children and young people. The Irish government requires schools and organisations working with young people to complete thorough background checks on staff working in schools and with children.
BrightHR clients gain access to both a 24/7 advice line and expertly written document templates to support the vetting process. Plus, with unlimited HR document storage, documentation of staff background checks can be stored securely within an employee's personnel profile. Making sure this is kept up to date according to industry requirements.
Provide professional development training for teachers
Limited budgets and resources can make it challenging for teachers and school staff in Ireland to access essential training.
With BrightHR’s e-learning tools, staff can complete valuable online training courses anytime, anywhere, and from any device. This makes it easier for teachers to work towards their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements, enhance their professional skills, and stay up to date with essential training, all while balancing their busy schedules.
Reduce stress levels in classrooms
Findings from a 2025 study by the Dublin City University (DCU) reveal that 85% of teachers reported moderate to high levels of work-related burnout. This highlights the prevalence of stress and mental health issues within the Irish education sector.
By providing teachers and staff with an employee assistance programme, staff can access the tools they need to feel supported. BrightHR's employee wellbeing support offers a range of tools ideal for education professionals and stress management within teaching. Including:
- Quicker access to wellbeing support
- Guidance from experts on nutrition and sleep
- Occupational health assessments
- Menopause support
Conduct performance reviews and teacher appraisals
Having a structured and streamlined approach to managing appraisals and performance in general helps Irish schools improve teaching quality.
BrightHR’s performance management software helps school leaders save valuable time and reduce administrative workloads by simplifying staff appraisals. With automated reminders for regular performance reviews and check-ins, schools can stay on top of staff development without the hassle of endless paperwork.
