We need to stop thinking about employee tenure like it's 1995.
Here’s what we’re taught: job satisfaction, work/life balance, compensation, manager engagement, and career development all influence employee tenure.
But predicting why an individual stays or leaves is complex.
At Watercooler, we use AI and Game Theory to identify the root causes of flight risk. Instead of guessing, our AI algorithms analyze hundreds of variables from HRIS, IT, Applicant Tracking Systems and others, to uncover the real drivers of employee tenure.
For example, we identified two employees at high risk of resigning next quarter. The first is driven by burnout—long hours and not enough time off. Factors like 1:1s with their manager and their tenure also play a role. The second is likely to leave due to failed onboarding—they're new and not engaging with their manager.
What motivates one employee doesn't affect another the same way. With AI, we can move beyond a one-size-fits-all approach to understanding employee tenure.
We are at the dawn of a new era. Tailored interventions, based on specific behavioral drivers, are now possible. AI can make work better for all of us, leading to more meaningful workplace engagement and improved employee tenure.
