1862 respondents provided further explanation for their choices of other. One respondent shared that “we are so focused on onboarding that no one sees the need to work with current employees so it becomes a revolving door” while another emphasized need to prevent burnout. Other respondents shared need for training in growth mindset and DEI-based training for leadership. Another respondent expressed need for clear direction for processes of administrative staff. Yet another shared that because they are “so small and not county -based that none of this really exists.” An explanation for other in the original overarching training needs placed in this category from an 1862 respondent was a need for “ training college and university level leadership to value and support staff with career growth opportunities and appropriate salary .”
