This book examines a key issue in the field of human and social services: how to retain workers in child protection and welfare organizations. Research over the last decade has highlighted the turnover of these workers as a pressing and perennial issue that impacts service users, staff welfare, resources, and the reputation of this sector. This book presents the findings of a study examining social workers' retention in child protection and welfare. The findings from this study highlight how worker retention is influenced by exchange relationships with colleagues and managers. Additionally, this book presents a unique career preference typology that expands our understanding of how workers make decisions to stay or leave based on their preconceptions of career pathways post-qualification. The book also examines findings associated with the employment mobility of these workers.
