Barriers to Sustained Change
Staff turnover disrupts implementation continuity as knowledgeable personnel leave. Lack of leadership support translates to insufficient resources and advocacy (Pascoe et al., 2021; McArthur et al., 2021).
Overcoming Strategies
Address turnover through new staff training and root cause investigation. Build leadership support through regular engagement, success stories, evidence-based data, and involvement in planning and decision-making.
