The Retention Risk Index
Find Your Retention Gaps
Being great at the work and being great at leading people are two different skills. This 15-question diagnostic finds the gaps in your leadership pipeline — and shows you exactly where your managers are putting retention at risk.
Retention
Day-to-day manager behavior — what makes people stay or leave. Mapped from the Skillset dimension.
Reskilling
Cognitive frames — what lets a manager adapt to workforce redesign and AI-driven change. Mapped from the Mindset dimension.
Re-engagement
Emotional presence and connection — what drives engagement. Mapped from the Heartset dimension.
The Gap
Organizations promote people for being great at the work — then never teach them how to lead the people doing it.
70%
of employees would quit over a bad manager. 42% of departures are preventable — making manager development the highest-leverage retention lever that isn't a raise.
6.1%
shrinkage in managerial roles since 2022. The managers left standing are carrying more scope through more disruption — AI transformation and workforce redesign.
82%
of managers report burnout. Manager quality drives ~70% of the variance in team engagement — you can't re-engage a team through a burned-out manager.
