Employee engagement and retention
Employee surveys that end in a fix, not a score.
Losing good people is expensive, and the reasons they leave are often fixable. In about three weeks, Ranx shows you what your people value most and what to fix first. Your leaders name an owner for each fix, and your next survey shows whether plans to stay and engagement went up.

Why it matters
When good people quit, you pay for it three times.
-
HR and recruiting About 21% of a year's pay to replace one person Center for American Progress, 2012
-
Operations Teammates cover the empty seat while a new hire gets up to speed
-

Your numbers
What a year of resignations costs a company your size
- Your turnover costs
- $2,573,382 a year, as 140 people leave
- Each point of turnover
- $183,813 a year at your size
- At the professional services high
- +$2,499,857 more a year at your size
Each resignation costs about 21% of a year's pay, the median of 27 case studies, here at $87,530, the median pay in professional, scientific and technical services (BLS, May 2025). Industry rates are 2025 quits from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average monthly rate times 12. BLS reports finance and insurance on its own, and counts consulting, engineering, accounting, legal and IT services with staffing and administrative services.
What Ranx is worth at your size
Ranx works on the reasons people leave, shown below. If that takes your turnover down even a little:
- Turnover down 1 point 14% to 13% $183,813 a year, as 10 more people stay 10× the suggested plan's price
- Turnover down 2 points 14% to 12% $367,626 a year, as 20 more people stay 21× the suggested plan's price
- Turnover down 3 points 14% to 11% $551,439 a year, as 30 more people stay 32× the suggested plan's price
Suggested at your size
Ranx Pro with Act and Lift Essentials at $16,800 a year: the smallest setup that gives each fix an owner and shows whether it worked.
90-day pilot: $874 a month, half the monthly price. Cancel any time before day 91.
Not counted: engaged, satisfied people do better work, and at your size each 1% more output from them is worth about $875,300 a year, 1% of your payroll. People who'd recommend working here bring referrals, and referred hires quit less.
Scenarios, not a promised result; Ranx's next survey shows whether plans to stay moved. The suggestion is a starting point, since what you want after the results matters more than headcount; prices are annual list prices. Break-even, in people kept a year: one for Starter or Pro, two for Business, three for Enterprise.
How Ranx moves it
Retention follows the reasons people leave. Ranx shows which to fix first.
Most surveys stop at a score, and when people rate everything, everything looks important. Ranx asks people to put what matters in order, so you know where to start, who owns each fix, and whether it worked.
The reasons are mostly fixable
- 63%
Room to grow
of people who quit in 2021 said having no chance to advance was a reason.
- 57%
Respect
said they felt disrespected at work.
- 60%
Their manager
less turnover predicted when a manager in the bottom tenth on people skills is replaced by one in the top tenth.
Low pay tied for first, at 63%. If pay ranks first with your people, Ranx shows that too.
Parker & Horowitz, Pew Research Center, 2022 · Hoffman & Tadelis, Journal of Political Economy, 2021What Ranx tracks, and what it leads to
- Plans to stay
What people say about leaving predicts who leaves better than almost anything else measured.
Griffeth, Hom & Gaertner, 2000Fewer resignations Priced above, at your size -
More from the people who stay Better work, same payroll
- Would recommend working here
Referred hires are less likely to quit.

Quarter by quarter
Your first year, from survey to results.
Each quarter ends with something done, and the next one builds on it. Every screen below is real Ranx, from our demonstration company: click one to try that step, no sign-up.
Net Ranx is one 0–100 score, weighted by what matters to your people. These are the demonstration company's last four quarterly pulses: close to flat for three, then up 3.2 points once its first fixes had run.
Every quarter runs the same loop: Listen, Rank, Drivers, Act, Lift. See how the loop works
- Your 90-day pilotQuarter 1Know what to fix first.
Your people rank what matters to them. Ranx turns it into the first fix, with the evidence behind it.
- Day 21Ranked list
- Day 30Owners
- Day 75Review
- Day 90Next round
- Quarter 2Choose the fixes.
Leaders choose initiatives for what people ranked. On Business and Enterprise, each owner gets a ready-to-use pack: guides, plans, and a deck.
See what an owner gets - Quarter 3See what moved.
Lift shows what changed after each initiative, area by area, and says so when nothing did. Its first read comes with the survey after an initiative has run six weeks.
Try it in the demo - Quarter 4Take it to leadership.
A leadership-ready deck from your own results: the evidence, the options, and the decision.

Half price for the first three months. Cancel any time before day 91.
Act and Lift: included in Business and Enterprise; Act and Lift Essentials add-on on Pro. On other plans, keep the owners and dates in your own tracker.
Already run an annual survey?
Keep it. Ranx works the months in between.
An annual survey tells you how people feel once a year. It leaves open what to work on first, who owns it, and whether it moved before next year's results arrive.
- What stays
- Your annual survey, its calendar and its history. Nothing has to be switched off to start.
- What Ranx adds
- A quarterly pulse that takes 4–8 minutes to answer. People put what matters in order, so in about three weeks you know what to fix first.
- What leaders get
- An owner and a date for each fix, and the next pulse shows whether it moved, months before the next annual results.

EX Employee Experience
Each person ranks what matters most before rating anything, and their ranking sets their own weights, using a published method anyone can check. Categories and questions arrive in a freshly shuffled order for each person.
See the methodEmployee results never show for a group with fewer than 5 responses, and you can raise that minimum. Each leader sees only their own part of the organization, and a minimum promised to respondents can only go up.
How we protect peopleRankings come from math you can check, and AI never changes them. AI helps explain the results; Ranx informs, ranks and recommends, and your organization decides what to do.

“Most engagement surveys end with a page of averages and maybe a leadership debate about where to start. I built Ranx so your people's ranking settles the debate, and every fix gets an owner, a plan, and a measure of whether it worked.”
