It's no secret that turnover rates in this industry are sky-high. In fact, according to a recent [NAHC](http://www.nahc.org)study, the average turnover rate for home health and personal care aides was a staggering 64.3%. That's not a typo – 64.3%. So, what can we do about it? Well, one solution is to start [surveying](https://www.nevvon.com/surveys/)your caregivers. ![](https://blog.nevvon.com/hubfs/absolutvision-82TpEld0_e4-unsplash.jpg) Now you might be wondering – "Allan, how is [surveying](https://www.nevvon.com/surveys/)our caregivers going to help with retention?" Well, let me explain. First of all, it's important to understand why caregivers leave in the first place. While there are many factors that contribute to turnover, some of the most common reasons include burnout, lack of support, and feeling undervalued. By [surveying](https://www.nevvon.com/surveys/)your caregivers, you can identify areas where they are struggling and work to address those issues. This can help improve caregiver satisfaction and reduce turnover. But it's not just about identifying problems. [Surveys](https://www.nevvon.com/surveys/)can also be a powerful tool for showing caregivers that you value their opinions and are invested in their success. By asking for their feedback and actively listening to their responses, you can create a culture of openness and collaboration that can go a long way towards improving retention. So, what should you be asking in these [surveys](https://www.nevvon.com/surveys/)? Well, that will depend on your specific agency and the needs of your caregivers, but some topics you might want to consider include: - **Training and development:** Are your caregivers receiving the support they need to perform their jobs effectively? Are there areas where they feel they could use more training or development? - **Communication**: Do your caregivers feel that they have open lines of communication with their supervisors and colleagues? Are there any areas where communication could be improved? - **Workload**: Are your caregivers feeling overwhelmed or overworked? Are there areas where you could be providing more support or resources? - **Job satisfaction**: How do your caregivers feel about their jobs overall? Are there specific aspects of their work that they find particularly rewarding or challenging? By asking these types of questions, you can gain valuable insights into your caregivers' experiences and needs. And by taking action based on their feedback, you can demonstrate that you are committed to their success and well-being. But it's not enough to simply ask for feedback – you also need to act on it. When you receive survey results, take the time to review them carefully and identify areas where you can make improvements. Then, communicate those changes to your caregivers and demonstrate that you are taking their feedback seriously. In conclusion, [surveying](https://www.nevvon.com/surveys/) your caregivers can be a powerful tool for improving retention in the home care industry. By identifying areas where your caregivers are struggling and taking action to address those issues, you can create a more supportive and satisfying work environment. So, if you're in the home care industry, I encourage you to consider implementing a caregiver survey program. Your caregivers – and your clients – will thank you.   [Nevvon News](https://blog.nevvon.com/tag/nevvon-news) ## Related Posts ### [May 3, 2023 8:45:00 AM Why Surveying Caregivers Is Important](https://blog.nevvon.com/caregiver-survey-benefits-for-home-care-agencies) ### [Jul 26, 2023 9:30:00 AM Surveying Caregivers: Unveiling Training Opportunities for Home Care Excellence](https://blog.nevvon.com/unleashing-the-power-of-caregiver-surveys-boosting-training-and-agency-success) ### [Aug 30, 2023 9:15:00 AM Does training lead to higher retention?](https://blog.nevvon.com/does-caregiver-training-lead-to-higher-retention) ![nevon-logo-tagline](https://blog.nevvon.com/hubfs/nevon-logo-tagline.png) - Company - [About Us](https://www.nevvon.com/about-us/) - [Expert Comitee](https://www.nevvon.com/qapi/) - [What we do](https://www.nevvon.com/what-we-do/) - [Our Team](https://www.nevvon.com/our-team/) - [Our Partners](https://www.nevvon.com/our-partners/) - [Careers](https://www.nevvon.com/careers/) - [Blog](https://blog.nevvon.com/) - [Press Releases](https://blog.nevvon.com/tag/press-releases) - [Nevvon News](https://blog.nevvon.com/tag/nevvon-news) - [Podcast](https://blog.nevvon.com/tag/podcast) - Product - [How We Build Our Training](https://www.nevvon.com/how-we-build-our-training/) - [Pricing](https://www.nevvon.com/pricing/) - [Our Library](https://www.nevvon.com/form-library/) - [State Regulations](https://www.nevvon.com/in-service-state-requirements/) - [ROI Calculator](https://www.nevvon.com/roi-calculator/) - [We Care](https://www.nevvoncares.com/) - [Flex for Checks](https://www.flexforchecks.com/) - [COVID-19 Training](https://www.nevvon.com/covid-19-positive-training-signup-form/) - [Free COVID-19 Vaccination Training](https://www.nevvon.com/free-covid-19-vaccination-training-for-healthcare-workers/) - [FAQs](https://www.nevvon.com/faqs/) - Get in Touch - [Book a Demo](https://meetings.hubspot.com/hailey-nevvon/group-round-robin-book-a-demo) - [Contact Us](https://www.nevvon.com/contact-us/) - [Caregiver Login](https://webtraining.nevvon.com/#/) - [Employer Login](https://admin.nevvon.com/) © 2026 [Caregiver Compliance Training | Nevvon](https://www.nevvon.com/).
