Canary Human Capital Partners
Employee Retention Consulting for Recurring Workforce Challenges
When critical positions keep reopening, leaders need to understand the conditions behind departures. Canary Human Capital Partners helps organizations examine turnover patterns, employee experience, and management practices to develop practical retention priorities.
Discuss your employee retention needs
Your engagement at a glance
When to call: Recurring departures are disrupting a role, team, location, or service line.
What you can receive: A turnover profile, prioritized findings, action owners, and a measurement plan.
Your team’s role: Provide agreed workforce information, protect employee confidentiality, support listening, and assign implementation owners.
Begin with the workforce group that needs attention
An overall turnover figure can conceal differences between roles, locations, teams, and tenure groups. A useful assessment identifies where departures disrupt operations and what information is needed to understand the pattern. Employee privacy and appropriate access to information belong in the scope.
Investigate before selecting a solution
An engagement may examine onboarding, manager support, workload, employee feedback, development opportunities, and other relevant conditions. Compensation may be a factor; it should be investigated alongside the rest of the employment experience.
Example: investigate turnover in a specific workforce group
A healthcare service line may repeatedly lose employees during their first months. A fabrication business may see departures concentrated on one shift. A focused assessment can examine the affected group’s hiring, onboarding, manager support, and employee feedback before leaders choose an intervention. These examples describe possible engagement scopes, not documented client outcomes.
Executive experience relevant to your challenge
At CHI St. Luke’s Health, Dawn developed manager training, accountability processes, and a division-wide employee relations model to strengthen employee experience.

Possible retention consulting deliverables
- A turnover profile by agreed roles, locations, teams, or tenure groups, where suitable data is available.
- An assessment of onboarding, management practices, employee feedback, and other relevant workplace conditions.
- Prioritized recommendations with accountable owners and practical implementation steps.
- A measurement brief defining the baseline, metrics, review period, and limits of the available evidence.
Data access, employee confidentiality, deliverables, and implementation responsibilities are agreed before work begins.
How we begin
- Identify the pattern: discuss which roles keep reopening and how departures affect operations.
- Define the assessment: agree the population, information sources, scope, and employee communication approach.
- Choose achievable actions: prioritize findings, assign ownership, and review implementation and outcomes over an appropriate period.
Can you guarantee lower turnover?
No. Workforce outcomes have several influences. Agree on the actions to implement, evidence to review, and appropriate observation period. Review implementation and outcomes without assuming every change has one cause.
Support can focus on one team, department, service line, location, or the wider organization. Explore the industries and organizations we support.
