Instruments

Retention instruments, grounded

Question sets for stay interviews, exit interviews and new-hire check-ins. Every question names the factor it probes and the finding it rests on.

Each instrument answers to the site’s own evidence grade for the practice. The questions reach the factors the research finds predictive; they do not make a practice work that the evidence says is unproven.
