Strengthening Workforce Retention in Behavioral Health, Community-Based, and Child Welfare Settings

Workforce retention remains one of the most pressing challenges facing behavioral health, community health, and child welfare organizations. Leaders are being asked to do more with fewer resources, all while maintaining staff engagement, psychological safety, and quality outcomes.

In this on-demand webinar, strategic partners Relias and the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA) explore how a proactive, data-informed approach to workforce development can support stronger retention. Drawing on CWLA’s Workforce Development Plan and real-world examples, presenters share insights into what employees value most, how organizations are using employee feedback effectively, and practical strategies leaders can apply to improve engagement and reduce turnover.

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Understand how proactive, data-informed workforce strategies improve employee engagement and retention.

• Identify key retention insights from CWLA’s Workforce Development Plan.

• Apply practical approaches to collecting and acting on employee feedback to strengthen retention.
