Why do people leave, and more importantly, what are we doing to give them a reason to stay? In this episode of Contributor Wednesday, Cara Silletto explores the connection between employee turnover, compensation, incentives, and retention.
Cara explains why turnover is more than a line item on the budget.
When experienced employees leave, the remaining staff can become overworked and burned out, managers lose capacity to care for their teams, and resident care, client satisfaction, and occupancy can ultimately suffer. The episode challenges senior care organizations to rethink traditional compensation packages and ask what employees actually find meaningful today. Cara discusses total compensation statements, flexible benefits, shift and holiday differentials, and the importance of matching incentives to the sacrifices employees make.

Using total compensation statements to communicate the full value of employment
