Comprehensive Training Reduces Turnover and Boosts Revenue

Proper caregiver training is crucial for ensuring high-quality care and addressing high staff turnover and burnout in the home care industry. According to the 2024 Activated Insights Benchmarking Report, many home-based care and home health staff feel unprepared for new clients, contributing to a nearly 80% annual turnover rate. Training not only enhances caregivers' skills and job satisfaction but also supports their professional development, which is vital for maintaining a motivated workforce and delivering better patient care.

Despite its benefits, many organizations lack adequate training and career development opportunities. Only 39.9% of providers have established clear career paths, and while most offer specialty training, the cost of in-person training is high. However, the investment in comprehensive training leads to higher caregiver revenue and improved client satisfaction. Organizations that offer extensive orientation and ongoing training see a significant increase in revenue and better employee retention, highlighting the importance of investing in caregiver development for long-term success.
