(And Stop It with Data)

Xono employee retention dashboard predicting staff turnover risk

Imagine knowing 6 months in advance which employees are at risk of quitting—with 92% accuracy. No more surprise resignations. No scrambling to backfill roles. Just proactive retention strategies that keep your best talent engaged.

The $1.5M Problem HR Leaders Miss

At Xono, we’ve helped over 300 companies predict staff turnover before it happens. The average cost of losing an employee is 1.5x their annual salary (SHRM), meaning a single departure can cost tens of thousands. Here’s how our data-driven approach works—and how you can apply it today.

3 Early Warning Signs of Staff Turnover (That Surveys Miss)

Traditional HR tools only show problems after employees decide to leave. These are the hidden signals that reveal risk earlier:

1. The "Silent Disengager"

  • Still meets deadlines.
  • But stops volunteering for stretch projects.
  • Why? They're conserving energy for job interviews.

Xono Data: Employees who reduce discretionary effort are 3x more likely to quit within 6 months.

2. The "Isolated Performer"

  • Maintains high output but interacts less with colleagues.
  • Declines informal team activities or meetings.
  • Why? They’re mentally checking out, preparing to exit.

Xono Data: A 20% drop in collaboration signals a 2.5x higher turnover risk.

3. The "Feedback Avoider"

  • Stops providing input in meetings or surveys.
  • Becomes overly agreeable, avoiding conflict.
  • Why? They’ve lost trust in the organisation’s ability to act on feedback.

Xono Data: Employees who disengage from feedback loops are 4x more likely to resign within 3 months.
