Metric 01

Attrition

Why do people leave, and can leadership see it before the notice period starts?

Primary buyer: Chief People Officer

Example scope

  • One definition of attrition, agreed with Finance and HR
  • Leading indicators: engagement, manager change, tenure, workload
  • Segmentation by team, level, and location
  • Baseline against the last eight quarters

Deliverables

EXAMPLE STRUCTURE
  • One attrition dashboard, one number, one owner
  • Risk list ranked by team, refreshed weekly
  • Manager playbook: what to do when a flag fires

Timeline

Three steps. A clear question gives a clear delivery.

    Build the signal, test it against known departures.

  3. 03

    Ship

    Week 4

    Dashboard live, thresholds set, alerts routed to managers.

A dense pattern of blue dots fading into dark.

The evidence

We measure what already exists before we propose anything new.

Analysis

Governance

Aggregated by default. Individual-level risk scores are visible only to HR, never to line managers.
