The First 90 Days: Caregiver Integration & Retention

Onboarding is not paperwork. It is the first and most powerful retention strategy an agency can deploy. This course introduces a research-grounded, operationally practical framework for supporting caregivers through their most vulnerable professional window — the first 90 days. Learners will explore why early departures happen, what phase-specific interventions reverse them, and how supervisors can lead a structured integration process that produces long-tenured, high-performing caregivers.

The course uses industry data, scenario-based learning, and downloadable tools to build both the knowledge and the confidence to implement a high-impact 90-day integration program immediately.
