Turning fragmented workforce data into a board-level retention view

A distributed care provider had three HR systems, an annual engagement survey nobody acted on, and a board asking why clinical attrition kept rising. The people team could produce reports but could not produce an answer.

What we did

The approach.

People Analytics
  1. 01Started with the six decisions the executive team actually needed to make, then worked backwards to the metrics.
  2. 02Assessed data readiness across the three systems and resolved the definitional conflicts first.
  3. 03Built a retention risk view segmented by role, site, tenure, and manager rather than a single company-wide number.
  4. 04Handed the model and the operating rhythm to the internal team with enablement sessions.

Outcome

What changed.

  • A single retention narrative the board could interrogate in one page.
  • Risk concentrated and named at site and manager level rather than averaged away.
  • Internal team running the quarterly refresh without external support.

Representative mandate profiles. Client identities are withheld and details are generalised to protect confidentiality.

Next step

Bring us a mandate with the same shape.

Every engagement starts with a confidential conversation about the business moment behind the role — no pitch deck, no obligation.
