Overcome the Early Experience Breakdown in Senior Care
Whether operating Long-Term Care or Skilled Nursing Facilities, employee experience breaks down quickly and reaches its lowest point between one and three years. However, similar starting patterns give way to distinct long-term trajectories: Senior Living shows stronger recovery, while Skilled Nursing struggles to rebound.

Employee Engagement Follows a Predictable Curve
Based on insights from 30M+ employees across 80,000 organizations
Nursing Homes (Skilled Nursing Facilities) operate at consistently lower levels of WX across all tenure stages and show limited recovery over time. In contrast, Long-Term Care (Senior Living) tracks closer to the Healthcare average, with a more moderate decline and stronger recovery in later tenure.
This divergence reflects fundamentally different experience dynamics within the same industry. Similar starting patterns give way to distinct long-term trajectories, shaped by how each sector manages the period where WX is most vulnerable.
When Employees Lose Belief, Turnover Spikes
As engagement declines, retention risk rises
Employees begin questioning their future with your company long before they leave. By the time turnover
becomes visible, the damage is already underway. And the cost is steep.

Development Isn't Translating Into Growth
Employees don’t see a path forward
Across the board, companies are prioritizing employee development. But too often, it isn’t translating into real growth.
Managers are expected to coach and develop talent, yet most aren’t equipped to do it. They focus on performance, not progression, without the time or tools to do either well.
Employees feel that gap. They don’t see a path forward — and that’s when they start looking elsewhere.
The Fix Is Better Manager-Led Development
Employees who see a future with you stay
When employees believe you invest in
their growth, 94% stay.
Organizations that sustain engagement invest in growth long after onboarding by equipping managers to coach, develop, and support employees as roles evolve.
The Energage Talent Platform helps make that possible with:
- Performance management built for growth, not just compliance.
- 360° feedback that fuels employee development.
- Structured check-ins that make coaching part of everyday work.
