What people use Attrition risk radar for

Targeting retention attention

Provides a prioritised watchlist of employees with elevated estimated attrition risk, with explanations of the factors contributing to each score. Supports informed review rather than assumptions about individual intentions.

Understanding workforce departures

Compares employees who leave with those who stay, highlighting differences in available measures such as tenure, pay, engagement and time since promotion. Distinguishes observed patterns from assumptions about the causes of attrition.

Briefing HR and leadership

Brings risk estimates and workforce patterns into a retention plan grounded in the statistical findings. Gives decision-makers a shared basis for discussing where support and further investigation matter most.

Reviewing team retention exposure

Examines differences across departments and managers where those details are available. Helps leadership identify concentrations of risk that warrant closer attention.

What it works from

  • Employee-level HR information system extract
  • Recorded leaving or staying outcomes for employees with known outcomes
  • Department and manager details
  • Tenure, salary and time since promotion data, where available

What you get back

  • Prioritised employee retention watchlist
  • Statistically calculated attrition risk scores on a 0–100 scale
  • Explanations of factors contributing to risk scores
  • Comparison of patterns among leavers and stayers

— HOW IT BEHAVES

How Attrition risk radar produces its result

The mechanics behind this specific template — what it reads, what it calculates, and where a human stays in the loop.

Every row of the risk universe in scope

Each row of your export is processed on the same basis, so no risk is skipped however long the table is.

Composed as work product

Findings on the risk universe in scope are written up as a document that reads like professional output, with each claim tied back to a risk.

Roll-up alongside risk-level detail

Detail rows are summarised into the grouped view of the risk universe in scope without losing the underlying risks.

Why this is expensive by hand

Retention decisions often rely on anecdote, isolated engagement results or assumptions about why people leave. Targeting retention attention is the typical trigger — provides a prioritised watchlist of employees with elevated estimated attrition risk, with explanations of the factors contributing to each score. Supports informed review rather than assumptions about individual intentions. Get it right and the conclusion holds up in the room; get it rushed and it gets picked apart. Either way it costs roughly 1–2 weeks of experienced attention.

How this Skill produces it

As a Skill, the work is already sequenced. You bring the evidence, and the run produces prioritised employee retention watchlist plus statistically calculated attrition risk scores on a 0–100 scale. What sits between input and output is the codified method: thresholds, sequencing and the points where a human confirms a call — all of it visible and editable in the Skill. The practical effect: 1–2 weeks of manual work becomes a ~15 minutes run, held to an identical standard on the tenth engagement as on the first.

Who it's for

  • CHROs and talent management leads
  • Succession and leadership development teams
  • Executive assessors and coaches
  • Consultants running talent reviews
