A Focus on Leadership Development at ABHM Reduces Turnover 10%, Boosts Employee Satisfaction, and Improves Patient Care

American Baptist Homes of the Midwest (ABHM) wanted to create a formal leadership development program to improve employee satisfaction with the objective of reducing employee turnover.

ABHM understood that the most important factor in an employee’s decision to stay in a job was having a good supervisor. The research was clear—morale and employee satisfaction are proven to increase with well-developed frontline leaders.

ABHM’s frontline leaders were skilled at performing their operational work, but most had no formal training or experience in supervising or managing others.

Learn how ABHM used The Leadership Journey™ to reduce turnover by 10%, improve employee satisfaction, and build strong communication between staff, residents, and their families ensuring a better care experience. View case study highlights.
