When to launch

When to conduct this survey

You want to retain key employees before they start looking for a new job. You are running a preventative diagnostic to understand what keeps people (which needs to be reinforced) and what causes doubts (which needs to be fixed right now).

What the survey shows

The survey breaks the topic down into dimensions — for each you can see what works and where growth points are hidden.

Intention to stay

The overall direction of the intention to continue working at the company over the next 3-6 months.

Reasons to stay

What makes continuing to work valuable for the employee: the work, the role, the team, contribution, conditions, and accumulated benefits.

Internal reasons to leave

Shows which working conditions within the company push employees to leave.

Growth, recognition, and fairness

Shows whether employees see prospects, recognition of their contribution, and a fair exchange with the company.

Manager and belonging

Trust in the manager, safety in discussing problems, and connection with the team as reasons for staying.

Alternatives and exit activation

To what extent external opportunities and readiness to consider a move lower the barrier to leaving.

How it works

Example questions

Each question is a scale rating and an open-ended clarification: a person doesn’t just assign a score, but explains their answer in their own words.

  • Over the next 3-6 months, I see my work future in this company.

    Disagree Agree

    follow-up question

    What most gets in the way of seeing your near-term work future here?

  • Right now, my decision to continue working at the company feels stable.

    Disagree Agree

    follow-up question

    What is making you reconsider your decision to stay most right now?

  • I can name a specific reason why it is valuable for me to continue working here right now.

    Disagree Agree

    follow-up question

    What is currently missing for continuing to work here to feel valuable?

Open clarifications are part of the cycle methodology: Behind every score, live context remains; from it, AI extracts reasons, not just averages.

Output

What kind of report you’ll get

The report will show employees’ current intention to stay with the company, highlight key retention anchors, and identify risk factors. You will see how growth, the manager, and internal friction affect the desire to leave, and how open people are to external offers.

Not a single score, but a condition map and discovered growth points — on anonymized summaries. AI prepares options, the decision and responsibility remain with people. Next — to cycle steps.
