The effect of managerial interventions on high personnel turnover in nursing homes

This study indicates that administrator attention and intervention can reduce high turnover in nursing homes. It also indicates a need to investigate the contributing factors in a specific organization, to select interventions based on this knowledge and for multiple but related actions that will support one another. Increased supervision of new employees, increased recruitment efforts, supervisory training, revised personnel policies, and avoidance of personnel pools seem to have particularly high impact on the reduction of turnover in nursing homes and are recommended as a place to begin.
