These 3 assumptions quietly slow down employee retention progress:

1) “Turnover is inevitable.”
Turnover may be common, but data patterns show it can be reduced when organizations treat it as a trend to study, not a predetermined outcome.

2) “We already know why people leave.”
If that were true, attrition rates wouldn’t still be increasing. What organizations think they know is often based on one-off conversations rather than verified exit interview feedback.

3) “Exit interviews won’t help.”
They only fail to add value when they aren’t structured or consistently implemented.

The truth: Exit interviews reveal the order of events, not just the final reason for leaving. When insights are tracked over time using strong exit survey questions and standardized exit interview reports, organizations gain clarity that supports retention decisions.
