Why This Matters

  • Retention is the top priority in home care due to high demand and shifting workforce expectations.

  • Transparency reduces turnover, as clear job expectations protect your reputation as an employer.

  • Education and upskilling are essential; growth is as a core part of employment value.

Workforce success in home care hinges on more than a paycheck. This article from Home Health Care News explores why retention has overtaken recruitment as the industry’s top challenge and how "whole package" benefits—like radical transparency and career upskilling—are the new keys to keeping staff.

"The old paradigm of, ‘I’m expected to go to school, take on inordinate amounts of student debt to acquire a credential; then I’m going to go work in a job and hopefully earn that back’ – it’s broken.

BAYADA invests in employees’ career growth, offering financial support, career coaching, academic counseling and wayfinding, in a way where you’re not going to be burdened by an albatross of student debt."
