Staff Experience and Stability
Our programs experience industry low staff turnover. At the direct support level, the average staff has been with Wholistic for over two years. The QIDP/House managers average five years, and the senior management averages ten years with our company. New staff members are almost exclusively recruited through word of mouth based on known reputation. This organizational experience and stability extends to our clinical teams as well, and it ensures that the high quality of services and support is consistent and reliable.
