Employee Flight Risk Assessment

Most managers don't see it coming. A high-value employee seems fine — if occasionally stressed. Then they hand in their notice.

This Employee Flight Risk Assessment will help you read the signals in time to act.

How it works

Answer 11 questions about what you know and observe about your employee.
Once complete, you'll receive that employee's risk score, a profile identifying what's most likely driving their dissatisfaction, and guidance on next steps.
The assessment draws on data from the 2026 Career and Salary Outlook: Content and Marketing Professionals, based on the responses of 644 global marketers.
