Why You're Losing People
(And Why You Don't Know Until It's Too Late)

Your best people are quitting. Not because of salary. Because their manager didn't know they were struggling until the exit interview.

The Silent Departure Pattern

  • Employees don't tell managers they're struggling
  • By the time problems surface, they've started job hunting
  • Exit interviews reveal issues that existed for 4-6 months
  • "Everything's fine" until they hand you the 2-week notice

The Actual Cost

  • Each departure costs $120K-$180K (1.5-2x salary)
  • Recruiting fees alone: $18K-$45K per replacement
  • 6 months for new hire to reach full productivity
  • Each departure triggers 2-3 more within 90 days

Why Traditional Solutions Fail

  • Annual surveys measure the past, not the present
  • Q4 results show Q2 problems when people already quit
  • 1-on-1s are canceled 50% of the time
  • Employees don't share real issues (fear of retaliation)

How We Catch Problems Before They Become Resignations

Three simple steps. Daily signals. Early interventions. Prevented departures.

1

Daily Anonymous Signals

Employees answer one question daily (30 seconds). Completely anonymous. Instead of hiding problems, they surface them because there's no fear of retaliation. Honest feedback reveals what's actually happening.

2

Pattern Recognition & Alerts

The system identifies concerning patterns (burnout, workload stress, manager issues). Managers get weekly reports with specific problems affecting their team—without knowing who said what. Anonymous system means no witch hunts.

3

Early Intervention

Managers take small actions (redistribute work, have a conversation, adjust priorities). Problems get solved before they become resignations. Average client prevents 13 departures in first 90 days.

"The anonymity is what makes this work. My team answers honestly because there's no fear. And I get the insights I need without creating a surveillance state."

— Director of Engineering, 180-person tech company

How It Prevented Actual Resignations

Real teams. Real problems. Real savings.

Example 1: The Burned Out Engineer

Day 1-7: Daily check-ins show Sarah's team reporting high stress levels around workload.

Day 8: Manager sees weekly report flagging burnout risk. Takes action: redistributes two projects, cancels one non-critical meeting.

Day 30: Stress levels normalize. Sarah (who was updating her resume) stays.

Replacement cost avoided: $180,000

Example 2: The Communication Breakdown

Week 1: Engineering team shows communication breakdown patterns across multiple daily check-ins.

Week 2: Manager creates weekly sync meetings and clarifies project ownership.

Week 8: 3 engineers who were actively interviewing elsewhere all stay.

Combined savings: $540,000

Example 3: The Invisible Growth Ceiling

Week 1-2: System flags that multiple team members feel stuck in their roles (Opportunity dimension).

Week 3: Manager creates career development conversations and identifies internal mobility opportunities.

90 Days: 2 employees promoted internally instead of leaving for external opportunities.

Savings: $240,000 + retained institutional knowledge

The Six Early Warning Signals We Track

These are the six things that cause people to quit when they break down. We track all six. When any of them spike, managers get alerted.

C

Communication Breakdown

When communication fails → people feel unheard → they leave. We track daily signals of communication quality. When it drops, managers know immediately.

L

Learning Stagnation

When learning stops → people feel stuck → they leave. We identify when employees feel their growth has plateaued, triggering development conversations.

O

Opportunity Gaps

When opportunities disappear → people feel blocked → they leave. We surface when employees see no path forward, enabling proactive career discussions.

V

Vulnerability Absence

When psychological safety erodes → people feel unsafe → they leave. We measure trust levels daily, alerting to toxic team dynamics before they explode.

E

Enablement Failures

When tools/resources fail → people feel frustrated → they leave. We identify when teams lack what they need to succeed, enabling rapid problem-solving.

R

Reflection Missing

When there's no time to reflect → people burn out → they leave. We detect early burnout signals weeks before traditional surveys would catch them.
