Notes:

High staff turnover is often attributed to burnout or exhaustion, especially in ministry work.
Staff should be trained well so that they are equipped to handle the many needs of residents.
Cross-training staff can help each staff member to take time off regularly.
Find a housing model that works well for both residents and staff.
Retreats and conference get your team outside of their typical day-to-day work and allows for time of fellowship and sharing of ideas.
