Lived Experience

02
Shared Baseline
Staff across agencies and locations start with the same core expectations and language.

03
Continuous Hiring
Training meets staff when they're hired, not months later when or if a large enough
cohort finally forms. Fill positions faster, onboard smoother.
04
Reduce Turnover
Identify and support staff before burnout hits. Clear roles, boundaries, expectations,
and support help people stay and thrive in their positions.

turnover and transition, building institutional wisdom.
