In Strategies for Improving Staff Retention Through the First 90 Days, for this course, the practical stakes show up in better performance, lower drift, and more sustainable team development, not in abstract discussion alone.

Estimates suggest that ABA organizations' turnover rates for frontline staff range anywhere from 30-75% and that the average behavior technician tenure is less than 12 months. To that end, the 90-day rule states that if a new employee stays with an organization for at least three months, they are far more likely to remain for at least their first year (Cutter, 2022). In this presentation, we will discuss strategies to improve retention in the first 30, 60, and 90 days of an employee's tenure.
