Skills for Care have commissioned research looking at the reasons behind staff turnover and churn within the sector. They want to hear directly from frontline staff about their motivations for working in social care, future intentions and their perceptions on what makes a good employer. They also want to hear from those exiting their role about the reasons why, their future work plans and what needs to be done to retain them within adult social care.
They are looking for care providers to sign up to this research, which has two elements:
Survey results are anonymous and cannot be linked back to the individual or their employer. Employers will not have access to the answers provided by their employees who take part in the research. Any member of staff completing the short questionnaires will be entered into a prize draw to win vouchers. They are looking for as many completions as possible from the two pilot areas which are the Northwest and East Midlands.
