Three things to do this quarter
- 1
Post the night schedule two weeks out. 9 of 24 leavers named it, and it matches what stayers said.
- 2
Add a short next-step conversation at the one-year mark for night-shift staff.
- 3
Publish the night differential next to day-shift pay.
Five people is a privacy line, not proof. It means it's safe to show you, not that it's settled. Look into it, and answer.
After the report
Pick one of the three, do it, and tell the team you did it because of what they said. You don't need to share the report; you need to show it changed something. That's what makes people answer honestly next time.
Post what you heard and what you'll do; the team sees it on the same link.
Leavers and stayers named the same top theme: schedule changes with less than a week's notice. Stayers ranked it first and leavers named it more often than anything else, so it is the clearest place to act. Pay compared to day shift came up on both sides but ranked lower for leavers than for stayers.
