Hospice Retention Academy
Turnover is the tax hospice pays for skipping the culture work. These guides give leaders — and clinicians — the tools to prevent burnout, protect meaning, and make the fifth year in hospice more sustainable than the first.
Recognize the earliest signals in yourself and your team, before they become an exit interview.
Evidence-based individual and team-level interventions that actually move the needle.
The behaviors that make a hospice team feel safe to grieve, ask questions, and admit uncertainty.
The onboarding rhythm that gets a new hospice clinician competent, connected, and confident.
How to build preceptors who create the next generation of hospice clinicians (not just the next generation of task-doers).
The conversation that predicts turnover 90 days before it happens — and prevents it.
Beyond “employee of the month” — how to recognize hospice clinicians in ways that matter.
Clinical ladders, cross-training, and second-decade growth paths that keep senior clinicians engaged.
The single biggest lever on retention is the direct manager. This is how to be the one people stay for.
