The problem we're solving
This build started with the post below. The question under it is the whole problem: the signs are there weeks before someone resigns, but nothing in the day-to-day makes a manager look for them. So I built the workflow that does the looking.
The earliest sign that a good employee is getting ready to leave
I have found that when a high-performing employee leaves, the resignation itself tends to be the last step. The real signs often appear much sooner. Sometimes they don't share ideas at meetings. Sometimes they get quieter than usual. Other times they do their job well but the mojo just isn't there anymore. What do you see first that tells you someone is already thinking about leaving, even if they haven't said a word yet? I am very keen to hear from both employees and managers who have seen this happen.
