Where Did Everybody Go?
summary
Culture Amp engagement and exit surveys of about 20,000 people show people do not leave primarily because of managers or perks; those factors barely move retention. The biggest predictors of leaving are lack of confidence in the company’s future, poor belief in leadership, and few career development opportunities. Employees hit a two‑to‑four year danger zone where commitment drops, and women who leave more often cite lack of open honest communication and unfair workload distribution.
