Turnover is a common problem at FQHCs, but successful FQHCs are adept at reducing turnover and increasing the likelihood that staff will want to stay at their organization. The main goal of this course is to focus on techniques that FQHCs can use to help with staff retention. In this course you will learn about the importance of recruiting when it comes to retention, as well as understanding the motivating factors that make staff leave or stay.
