Retention Reset™
42 percent turnover is costing you millions. You can stop it.
The Math of Losing Clinical Staff
The average annual turnover in behavioral health is 42 percent. Every clinician who leaves costs 30 to 50 percent of their annual salary to replace. Training, recruiting, lost productivity, reduced census. The math is brutal.
You know your clinical staff is burning out. You do not conduct stay interviews. You have no data on why people leave. You are not tracking flight risk. You have no compassion fatigue protocol. When someone gives notice, it feels like a surprise.
The clinical staff who remain are carrying more load. Morale drops. More people start looking. The cycle accelerates. Your organization is stuck in a retention death spiral.

One clinical exit costs more than you think.
The line item you see is only the replacement cost. Five hidden layers sit underneath. For a clinician earning seventy thousand, the all-in exit cost is typically $115,000 to $140,000.
Mid-range estimate. Directors and specialized clinical roles run $150K to $220K all-in.
