The Invisible Gap: Are you failing your frontline staff?

Your most valuable assets are at highest risk. 🎯

The 10-year veteran clinician—your senior talent and mentors—is currently at peak risk for burnout and departure. It's not the early career stress; it's the convergence of leadership load, peak personal demands, and moral distress fatigue that creates the "Mid-Career Trap."

Losing this cohort costs $500K+ per clinician and strips institutional knowledge. Find out why generic well-being solutions fail this group and what specialized, proactive strategies (like Peer Coaching and leadership development) you must implement now to secure your workforce investment.
