Sona releases The Big Reshuffle report

Unique poll of 1000 Health & Social Care joiners and leavers 

After releasing The Big Exit in 2022, detailing the motivations of 1000 Health &  Social Care joiners and leavers

Social Care leavers, Sona has acknowledged that responses can shift with time, as working trends change, and decided to run the poll again this year.

In The Big Reshuffle, they aimed to answer the biggest questions Social Care organisations have for both leavers and joiners:

  • Why are employees leaving or joining the industry?
  • Where are they going?
  • What would motivate leavers to return?

Oli Johnson, Sona co-founder, found some of the results eye-opening:

We committed to running this poll yearly because we wanted to shed light on the most relevant topics influencing Social Care and develop solutions that are truly needed by the industry. When I learned that 46% of leavers were not asked to stay at all, I wanted to share this with all the organisations struggling with recruitment and retention.”

Some other standout findings in The Big Reshuffle are:

  • Most common reasons for leaving Health & Social Care were pay, health issues, and lack of flexibility
  • Education is a top choice for 13% of leavers, followed by retail at 12%
  • 3rd most influential reason for leavers under 35 yo was not feeling valued 
  • 77% of leavers would consider returning in the right circumstances
  • The first 90 days onboarding process is essential to increase retention
  • How organisations can attract those leavers as well as new joiners
