Breakdown 1: The Pipeline Problem
She did not leave because you failed to find her. She left because the system she entered was built to attract talent, not to keep it.
Breakdown 2: The Invisible Load
Decision fatigue is not a personality trait. It is a design output. And it shows up in your absenteeism numbers long before anyone says the word burnout.
Breakdown 3: The Exit Gap
She decided the role was not a fit at day eighty seven. You got her feedback at day three hundred. By then she had already compartmentalized the experience as protection.
Breakdown 4: The Confidence Trap
Confidence training is often just presence training. It teaches her to perform a version of leadership your system already recognizes. It does not fix the system.
Breakdown 5: The Structural Failure
An ERG is not a retention strategy. A wellness stipend is not a culture. If you removed every initiative tomorrow, what infrastructure remains?
These conversations were originally hosted in partnership with IAW and TalentAlly. This diagnostic is a Project More Happy asset.

One design failure. Twenty minutes.
Not a sales pitch. A mapping session. Bring the gap you saw in the audit. I will show you the infrastructure shift that closes it.
