Stop losing your best people

Disengaged teams don’t just underperform—they haemorrhage money. Companies with engaged workforces see 21% higher profits and slash staff turnover by 59%.

Meanwhile, Wotter users are already proving this works: they achieve 40% lower staff churn than the UK average, turning what most companies see as an inevitable cost into a competitive advantage. Can you afford to not take engagement seriously?

40% lower turnover than the national average

Stay ahead of the curve with real-time data

Employee satisfaction doesn’t drop overnight – it erodes gradually through missed recognition, mounting workload, poor communication, and unaddressed concerns.

Traditional surveys catch these issues months too late, often after your best people have already started job hunting. Wotter’s real-time data capture spots the early warning signs immediately, giving you the strategic advantage to intervene before disengagement becomes departure.

Discover your flight risks before you lose them

High turnover isn’t just disruptive – it’s devastating. Every resignation costs you 6-9 months of that employee’s salary in recruitment, training, and lost productivity. But what if you could see it coming weeks before they even think about updating their LinkedIn?

Wotter’s flight risk module identifies disengagement patterns in real-time, flagging at-risk employees before they become statistics. Our predictive analytics don’t just tell you who might leave – they reveal exactly why, giving you the precise interventions needed to turn potential departures into loyal, motivated team members.

Frequently asked questions

Learn how Wotter helps organisations retain top talent through continuous listening and data-driven insights.

The primary causes of employee turnover include poor management relationships, lack of career development, inadequate compensation, poor work-life balance, and feeling undervalued. Research shows that 75% of employees who quit cite their manager as a key reason. Other factors include limited growth opportunities, toxic workplace culture, and misalignment between job expectations and reality.
Wotter uses continuous pulse surveys and AI-powered analytics to identify early warning signs of potential turnover. Our platform detects drops in engagement, satisfaction trends, and team-specific issues before they escalate. When we spot declining metrics in specific areas or teams, we automatically deploy targeted follow-up questions to understand the root causes, giving you actionable insights to intervene before employees decide to leave.
Employee turnover costs typically range from 50% to 200% of an employee's annual salary, depending on their role and seniority. This includes direct costs like recruitment, onboarding, and training, plus indirect costs such as lost productivity, knowledge drain, decreased team morale, and potential customer impact. For a mid-level employee earning £50,000, turnover could cost your organisation £25,000 to £100,000. Take a look at our turnover calculator above to see how much it could be costing you!
Continuous feedback through Wotter creates ongoing dialogue between employees and management, addressing issues before they become resignation triggers. Regular pulse surveys show employees their voice matters, increasing engagement by up to 40%. This approach helps identify and resolve problems quickly, demonstrates organisational commitment to improvement, and builds trust through transparent action on feedback.
Key retention metrics include turnover rate, retention rate by tenure, regrettable vs. non-regrettable turnover, flight risk scores, and engagement indices. Wotter automatically tracks these alongside predictive indicators like manager effectiveness scores, career development satisfaction, work-life balance ratings, and team cohesion metrics. Our dashboards provide real-time visibility into all critical retention KPIs with demographic breakdowns.
Wotter identifies retention risks in real-time as data flows in from continuous surveys. Our AI algorithms can detect concerning patterns within days of emergence, flagging at-risk individuals or teams immediately. With our 7-second average response time per question, employees provide frequent feedback without survey fatigue, ensuring you always have current data on retention risks.
Effective retention strategies include competitive compensation, clear career pathways, flexible working arrangements, recognition programmes, and strong manager training. Additional proven tactics include mentorship programmes, skills development opportunities, wellness initiatives, and fostering inclusive cultures. The key is understanding which strategies matter most to your specific workforce through data-driven insights.
Wotter provides managers with team-specific insights, early warning alerts, and AI-generated action plans to address retention risks. Managers receive notifications when team engagement drops, see anonymous feedback themes, and get coaching on having retention conversations. Our platform suggests targeted interventions based on what's actually driving dissatisfaction in each team, not generic best practices.
Yes, when implemented correctly. Organisations using Wotter's continuous listening approach see turnover reductions of 20-40% within the first year. The key is not just collecting feedback but acting on it visibly and quickly. Our platform ensures anonymity (minimum 5-person filtering), encouraging honest feedback while our AI helps prioritise the most impactful retention initiatives based on your unique data.
Non-monetary retention strategies include improving work-life balance, offering flexible schedules, providing growth opportunities, enhancing recognition, and building stronger team cultures. Research shows that feeling valued, having autonomy, and seeing career progression often matter more than salary. Wotter helps identify which non-monetary factors drive retention in your specific organisation, allowing targeted improvements that don't impact payroll.
Company culture is the number one predictor of employee retention, with 88% of employees citing culture as key to staying. A positive culture increases retention by up to 4x compared to toxic environments. Wotter measures cultural health through dimensions like psychological safety, inclusion, collaboration, and values alignment, helping you understand and improve the cultural factors affecting your retention rates.
Most organisations see measurable retention improvements within 3-6 months of implementing Wotter. Early wins come from addressing quick-fix issues identified in initial surveys. Longer-term cultural and systemic improvements typically show results within 6-12 months. Our platform tracks progress continuously, showing you exactly which interventions are working and where to focus next for maximum retention impact.
