Employee Retention & Turnover Risk Analyzer

Employee Retention & Turnover Risk Analyzer

Diagnose why people leave. Fix it before they do.

What This Does

Runs a structured retention risk assessment across 8 dimensions, scores each 0-100, identifies flight-risk employees and departments, calculates replacement costs, and generates a 90-day action plan.

8 Retention Dimensions

Compensation Competitiveness — market benchmarking, pay equity, total comp analysis Career Progression — promotion velocity, skill development, internal mobility Manager Quality — span of control, 1:1 frequency, team tenure under each manager Workload Balance — overtime patterns, PTO usage, burnout indicators Culture & Belonging — eNPS trends, DEI metrics, team cohesion signals Recognition & Feedback — frequency, quality, peer-to-peer vs top-down Flexibility & Autonomy — remote policy, schedule control, decision authority Onboarding & Early Tenure — 90-day attrition, ramp time, buddy program effectiveness

How to Use

Give the agent your team data (headcount, tenure distribution, recent departures, eNPS scores, comp bands) and it will: Score each dimension 0-100 Flag dimensions below 60 as critical Calculate cost-of-turnover by role level: Entry level: 50-60% of salary Mid level: 75-100% of salary Senior/specialist: 100-150% of salary Executive: 200-400% of salary Identify top 3 retention levers (highest ROI interventions) Generate 90-day retention action plan with owner assignments

Replacement Cost Formula

• Replacement Cost = (Recruiting fees + Lost productivity + Training + Ramp time) × Role multiplier
• Quick estimate:
• $65K role → $39K-$65K replacement cost
• $120K role → $90K-$180K replacement cost
• $200K role → $200K-$800K replacement cost

AI Impact on Retention (2026 Factors)

New retention risks specific to the AI transition: Role anxiety: 34% of employees report fear of AI replacement (Gallup 2025) Skills obsolescence: Roles with >60% automatable tasks see 2.3x higher attrition AI tool fatigue: Teams forced to adopt >3 new AI tools in 6 months show 40% higher burnout Upskilling gap: Companies investing <2% of payroll in AI training lose senior talent 1.8x faster Retention plays that work in 2026: AI upskilling budgets ($2K-$5K/employee/year) Role redesign workshops (quarterly, collaborative not top-down) "AI productivity dividends" — share efficiency gains as comp/time off Internal AI project rotations

Red Flags Dashboard

Watch for these combinations: eNPS dropping + PTO usage declining = burnout spiral Senior departures clustering in one team = manager problem Glassdoor sentiment shift + job posting views up = flight risk wave Promotion rate <5% + tenure >2yr cohort growing = stagnation crisis
