The Hidden cost of Turnover in ABA

When you're running an ABA company, you're not just managing a business—you're managing people who change lives. And when those people leave, the ripple effects are real.

Industry turnover for Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) can reach a staggering 75% annually. That means you could be replacing three out of four techs every year. The cost? It's not just financial—though that hurts too. It’s the disrupted care plans, increased training time, and stressed supervisors trying to hold it all together.

It’s also avoidable.

At Shaping HR, we help startups design retention strategies from day one. That includes:

• Building strong onboarding experiences

• Creating clear career pathways

• Implementing feedback and check-in systems

• Supporting your people before burnout sets in

Because staffing issues in ABA aren’t just a recruiting problem—they’re a retention problem. And we’re here to help you solve it.
