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

1. Compensation Competitiveness — market benchmarking, pay equity, total comp analysis
2. Career Progression — promotion velocity, skill development, internal mobility
3. Manager Quality — span of control, 1:1 frequency, team tenure under each manager
4. Workload Balance — overtime patterns, PTO usage, burnout indicators
5. Culture & Belonging — eNPS trends, DEI metrics, team cohesion signals
6. Recognition & Feedback — frequency, quality, peer-to-peer vs top-down
7. Flexibility & Autonomy — remote policy, schedule control, decision authority
8. 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:

1. Score each dimension 0-100
2. Flag dimensions below 60 as critical
3. 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
4. Identify top 3 retention levers (highest ROI interventions)
5. 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
