Look closer before someone leaves

The Employee Retention Checklist gives leaders and HR teams practical questions to help uncover what may be getting missed.

Use it to reflect on your own leadership approach or guide conversations with employees around:

  • what gives them energy and meaning at work
  • the support and conditions they need to perform well
  • signs of stress, frustration, or disengagement
  • growth, recognition, workload, and clarity
  • what might make them stay—or start looking elsewhere

The goal isn’t to predict every resignation. It’s to get better at noticing what deserves a closer look before a resignation is the first clear sign you get.
