  • {{industry benchmarks}}: Any known industry standards or benchmarks you have, or a request to use general benchmarks (e.g., "use average turnover rates for tech companies").
  • {{focus areas}}: Specific metrics or categories you want to compare (e.g., "compensation, career development, management quality").
  • Instructions

  1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
  2. Analyze the provided {{exit interview data}} and compare it against {{industry benchmarks}}.
  3. Identify the top 2-3 areas where your organization underperforms relative to benchmarks, and suggest specific improvement strategies.
  4. Provide a summary of key metrics to focus on, such as retention rate, exit reasons, and tenure.
  5. Recommend how to present this benchmarking data to stakeholders in a clear, impactful way.
  6. Output format Present the analysis in a structured report: Executive Summary, Benchmark Comparison, Key Findings, Improvement Recommendations, and Presentation Tips. Use bullet points and tables where appropriate. Guardrails Do not make up industry data; if the user does not provide benchmarks, ask for them or state that you will use general public benchmarks (with disclaimer). Avoid attributing causation without evidence. Keep recommendations high-level and not legally binding. Example
