When Is Your Next Key Employee Going To Leave?

Les McKeown

Rank Your Key Employees

The first step in the Retention Risk Analysis is pretty simple - the manager ranks the individual according to two criteria - their ability to get results, and their overall integration - sense of 'fit' - in the organization as a whole.

Note that we're not asking for granular data here - just an overall sense of where the employee fits overall.

Quadrant 1
Employees in Quadrant 1 (low results / low integration) are clearly in need of some form of intervention if they are to become productive team members.

By completing the assessment above, you and their manager may come to the conclusion that little can be done to help this person, and you may start making alternative plans.

Quadrants 2 and 3
Employees in Quadrants 2 and 3 are those where we have a decision to make - they either perform well but don't align with the rest of the organization (Quadrant 2), or they fit in very well, but aren't producing the results (Quadrant 3).
