Retention Isn’t a Perk—It’s a Performance Strategy

In healthcare, retention isn’t just a staffing concern—it’s a quality metric. Over an 18-month period, we set out to answer a critical question: Can we meaningfully improve retention without relying on unsustainable wage inflation or short-term rewards?

In an environment where “just showing up” gets you a bonus, we wanted to know if there was a better way—one rooted in operational excellence, leadership consistency, and intrinsic motivation.

The answer is yes—and the data backs it up.

Key Results Across Our Study:

  • 15% average increase in 90-day retention.
  • $58,000 in recruitment savings for every 100 employees
  • 6,100+ billable hours unlocked per 100 retained employees

Even more compelling? Employees who actively engaged with CoachUp Care were 327% less likely to leave than their disengaged peers.

Retention does not equal rewards. It equals consistency, connection, and a culture of care.
