Great to see some attention paid to the issue of turnover in non-profit organizations. I think the recommendation to pay attention to reward systems is especially important. Some other reflections: It seems likely the desire to change professions or pursue education is driven by low rates of pay in the sector. The high rates of departures due to disciplinary reasons may be an organizational issue in disguise; i.e., lack of performance management systems and poor supervision in general. The lower rates of turnover in housing organizations may be due to lack of opportunities elsewhere - staff in these organizations are less likely to hold post-secondary credentials.
