The Real Cost of Turnover (It's Not Just Recruiting)

Turnover in post-acute care is often treated as an unavoidable cost of doing business—but the real story is far more complex.

In this Workforce Wow Coffee Break, Cara Silletto, Founder and President of Magnet Culture, joins us to unpack why turnover is one of the most misunderstood metrics in healthcare and what organizations often miss when they focus only on recruiting. Together, we explore how turnover frequently reflects earlier decisions around training, leadership development, and workplace systems—and why investing proactively in those areas can dramatically change the retention equation.

Key topics include:

  • Why turnover is often a lagging indicator of deeper organizational issues

  • The hidden costs of turnover that extend far beyond recruiting

  • How leadership and manager training influence retention outcomes

  • Why high performers quietly leave when support systems break down The proactive investments that stabilize teams before staffing becomes a crisis

And because it’s part of our coffee break series, we’re covering it all in 15 minutes or less. So grab your favorite mug and click play!
