Flight-Risk Checklist for Retention
The fastest way to get ahead of who might leave is to score two things for each person: how likely they are to leave, and how much it would hurt to lose them. This free checklist does exactly that for one team — pick a flight risk and an impact from the dropdowns and each person's priority tier fills in — Critical, Elevated, Monitor, or Stable. Download it, fill it in, and see who to talk to first.
Take it with you — free, no signup
Direct download. No email, no account — just the files.
What it does
- A single-team flight-risk checklist — score each person on Flight Risk (Low / Medium / High) and Impact (Low / Medium / High).
- The Priority tier fills in automatically — Critical, Elevated, Monitor, or Stable — color-coded as a heat map.
- Comes pre-loaded with a small fictional team so you can see it working, then overwrite it with your own.
- Opens in Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice — no macros, no signup, nothing saved anywhere but your own file.

Want the whole team ranked and tracked?
This free checklist flags each person's priority. The full Stay-Interview & Retention-Risk Tracker auto-ranks your whole team into a queue, with a live priority dashboard, a curated stay-interview question bank, a stay-interview log, and per-person action tracking — owner, due date, and status — in one owned 8-tab spreadsheet (Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice) plus four guides.
A one-time purchase you keep and reuse every cycle — the structured retention file between a blank spreadsheet and a rented per-seat HR platform.
A retention-planning template, not HR, legal, or professional advice, and not an assessment of any real person. A risk score is a starting point for a conversation, not a verdict. The example team is fictional and illustrative. Stay interviews and retention risk are generic, widely-used people practices, not affiliated with any consultancy. Free to use; please don't resell or redistribute.
