Measure how employees actually feel about the work, the team, the manager, growth and pay — one anonymous survey with area scores, themes and a ranked fix list.
Quick answer
People do not leave suddenly; they become slowly unsatisfied — score work, team, manager, growth and pay as separate areas, anonymous by default with department aggregation, and improvement asks ranked by frequency.
Turnover tells you people left; it never tells you why they stopped caring. This survey asks the job-satisfaction questions that map to decisions — the work itself, team and manager, growth, pay and fairness — and aggregates answers into area scores and themes, so the next improvement budget goes where the dissatisfaction actually lives.
