PSI FAQs: How does PSI reduce CRA staff turnover on your project?

Project team turnover can have a severe impact on your study’s timelines, leading to delays in everything from patient recruitment and site activation to data collection and study management. Clinical Research Associate (CRA) turnover rates in particular have climbed in recent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and shifting economies, being reported as high as 30% in the US.

Despite this, PSI’s turnover has remained historically low with a company-wide staff turnover rate of only 14%. This kind of employee retention doesn’t just happen – it’s part of our commitment to stability for our biotech partners over the past 25 years.

While PSI offers competitive benefits and opportunities for employee recognition, we also support our CRAs in a number of other ways. We launched a CRA Academy to provide to help our team members develop therapeutic expertise as well as soft skills to manage key relationships with sites.

PSI also ensures that your study is effectively resourced by CRAs with manageable workloads by being selective about the projects take on. We are a specialized global CRO committed to pivotal Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials in select therapeutic areas, including oncology, hematology, gastroenterology, multiple sclerosis, and many rare diseases. This allows a more focused approach to resourcing, including providing additional study-specific training for CRAs on all new projects.
