Your RBTs aren’t leaving for money Alone

Let’s be real: wages matter. But when you dig deeper into why RBTs leave, it’s not always about the paycheck.

More often, they’re leaving because:

• No one explained what to expect from day one

• They feel isolated and unsupported

• There’s no clear path forward

• Feedback only comes when something’s wrong

In ABA, emotional labor is part of the job. But when there’s no system in place to support, recognize, and develop your team, burnout takes over—and turnover follows.

At Shaping HR, we help founders create environments where people want to stay. That means:

• Structured onboarding that sets expectations

• Buddy systems and team connections

• Career conversations, not just evaluations

• Leaders who listen and respond

You don’t have to pay Google-level salaries to keep good people. But you do need structure. That’s what we bring.
