Liberty’s internal and external customers report significant increases in staff retention and more improved employee engagement.  Training modules provide life affirming experiences for participants as well as segments devoted to management topics such as time management, performance appraisals and finance.

Core Competency Training brings the organization's mission, vision and values out of the standard organizational culture and translates them to the ways best to model these critical and valued behaviors. This training has been utilized by the American Association of Homes and Services of the Aging and the Pennsylvania Association of Non-Profit Homes for the Aging.
