Exit Interview Synthesis

Exit themes rolled up across departures to surface retention and culture signals - every transcript clustered, every quote anonymized, and the dept × reason concentration that shows where the org is bleeding before the next quarterly readout.

What the managed workflow does

Synthesizes every exit

Reads every transcript, clusters into a calibrated reason taxonomy, and tracks each cluster month over month - not a single quarterly snapshot that drifts off relevance the day it ships.

Surfaces verbatim

Anonymized direct quotes carry the texture into the readout - so the leadership conversation starts with the raw voice, not a paraphrased summary.

Cross-tabs by department

Where each reason concentrates - manager fit in GTM, growth in Eng, comp in early-tenure ICs - so interventions match the specific unit, not a generic all-hands fix.

Connects back to engagement

Themes correlate with prior-cycle engagement signal so retention drift shows up in the engagement readout before it shows up in the exit pile.

Inputs synthesized

Exit interview transcripts. Every leaver's structured + open-ended interview, parsed and clustered against a calibrated reason taxonomy.
Stay interview signal. Prior stay-interview answers from the same employee weight the exit signal - what changed between then and the exit.
HRIS context. Tenure, level, department, manager, comp band - anonymized cohort breakdown without breaking individual privacy.
Engagement-survey trail. Prior engagement-survey responses from the same employee correlate retention drift to engagement signal.

What lands per quarter

Theme synthesis. Top 3 retention signals with dept · tenure · manager attribution - leadership-ready, evidence-anchored.
Anonymized verbatim. Direct quotes with identifying detail stripped - the raw voice, preserved by design.
Dept × reason heatmap. Where each theme concentrates so retention interventions match the affected unit, not the entire org.
Per-concentration action prompts. Calibrated actions drawn from prior-intervention impact data, attached to each high-intensity cell.
