Why do employees stay with your organisation?
For many social care providers, retention is the bigger challenge. And the most valuable insight you can uncover is simple:
What makes your people want to stay… and what makes them start looking elsewhere?
That’s where structured workforce interviews come in.




New Starter, Stay and Exit Interviews
Cohesion delivers a series of structured interviews across the full employee lifecycle, giving you honest, usable insight into what’s working inside your organisation, and what needs attention.
New Starter Interviews
Carried out early in employment, these conversations help you understand how onboarding is landing in the real world: what’s been positive, what’s unclear, and where small issues could become early resignations.
Stay Interviews
These are proactive retention conversations with existing employees, designed to uncover what keeps them engaged, what frustrates them, and what might cause them to leave in the future before they actually do.
Exit Interviews
We speak with employees who are leaving (or have just left) to capture the real reasons behind turnover. As a specialist third-party interviewer, we create the space for people to be candid, helping you gather the full picture, not just the polite version.
So what do we hear from the thousands of exit and retention calls we conduct year on year?
