Staff Burnout and Quality Degradation

0

Definition

Child care is emotionally and physically demanding work with low compensation relative to education requirements. Staff burnout leads to: high turnover (50-80% annually in some regions), reduced quality of care, increased injuries/incidents, and regulatory compliance issues. Burnt-out staff are less patient with children, make mistakes in care protocols, and are more likely to be involved in incidents. The loss mechanism: high turnover requires continuous recruitment and training costs; reduced quality damages reputation and enrollment; incidents trigger regulatory investigation and potential closure; burnt-out staff increase absenteeism (operational disruption).

Key Findings
