The Retention Report, an annual publication by Work Institute, provides a comprehensive overview of trends in employee turnover. It aggregates sentiments from nearly 100,000 exit interviews across diverse industries. The interviews, conducted throughout the year by Work Institute, focus on generating qualitative feedback derived from open-ended questions, offering valuable insights into the real reasons for employee departures and what organizations can and should do to retain top talent.

As data-driven aggregation of these conversations, the Retention Report provides an invaluable encapsulation of the current workforce sentiment and can act as a guide for organizations looking to enhance employee satisfaction and reduce turnover rates.
