Turn the attrition hunch into a headcount answer

Golden shows where attrition really spiked, how headcount moved each quarter, and whether pay bands or tenure explain who's leaving.

The problem

Engineering says people are walking out

Lena runs People. Engineering leads say they're losing people faster than they can hire, and Finance wants a headcount bridge for the board pack.

The HRIS export has hire dates, termination dates, levels, and pay bands. Turning that into quarterly headcount and attrition rates usually means a weekend of formulas.

The solution

From employee list to board-ready bridge

Golden turns one row per employee into headcount by quarter, with hires and exits that reconcile, and attrition rates by department.

Then it checks the why: attrition by pay band, level, and tenure, so the conversation with engineering leads starts from evidence.
