From High Turnover to High Performance

From High Turnover to High Performance: A Manager's Guide to Building Stronger, Connected Teams

Managing a team in a children's home brings high emotional demands, and these can lead to turnover, low morale and burnout. This guide looks at how managers can build teams that are more stable, more connected and better able to support the children in their care.

Drawing on trauma-informed principles, attachment theory and research on high-performing teams, it offers practical strategies for supervision, debriefing and building resilience. It also includes a reflective practice guide and a CPD reflective account template for use with staff.

The Guide includes the following: - Trauma-Informed Practice for Teams - Recognising Attachment Patterns and Trauma Responses in Staff - Running Effective, Trauma-Informed Debriefs - Secondary Trauma and the Empathy Balloon - The Secure Base Model and Reflective Supervision - Lessons from High-Performing Teams and Building Resilience
