Case study
Challenge
The organization faced ongoing turnover challenges and sought to improve hiring decisions, employee fit, and retention within the first 90 days of employment.

- Turnover reduced from 22% to 15%
- Early turnover improved by 32%
- Average tenure increased from 41 days to 49 days
- Fewer employees left within 30, 60, and 90 days
- Estimated annual savings of $320,000
Business Impact
The assessment helped improve employee-job fit, reduce costly early turnover, and create measurable financial value. The results suggest that better selection processes can improve workforce stability while helping organizations identify downstream operational opportunities that affect retention.
