Human resources professionals and their senior teams are keenly aware that turnover comes at a high cost. Employee turnover also has a rolling effect throughout any company. In healthcare especially, losing employees has the effect of greater works burdens, less favorable scheduling and low morale. HR departments are left with the task of managing and improving turnover.

As in most projects, the first step in solving the problem is understanding it. Also, many employers will either create a short survey that they try to get in front of exiting employees. Others will schedule exit interviews. The problem with these solutions is that they are time-consuming and also the data is difficult to capture. In addition, the participation rates are low, the responses are not secure and the respondents often do not want to tell all to someone from the company they are leaving. As importantly, these processes may not flag important issues like harassment and intimidation.
