Abstract

ABSTRACT In human service organizations, staff are a key factor for ensuring quality and success. This is also the case in residential youth care. Staff turnover and shortages thus pose a serious challenge to residential youth care facilities. Consequently, strategies for recruiting and retaining staff are important in residential youth care. The article focuses on how residential youth care facilities in Germany assess their staffing situation and which strategies they employ for recruitment and retention. The data are from a 2019 survey of facilities throughout Germany offering residential care for children and youth. The descriptive analysis of the data shows that in spite of rather low staff turnover, the facilities are confronted with varied recruitment challenges. Furthermore, the data show that the facilities employ a wide range of strategies for recruiting and retaining staff. Both the size of the facility as well as the type of provider affect the staffing situation and the strategies employed for human resource development.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
