The CLOVER Framework

Six dimensions that predict whether people stay or leave, making retention measurable and actionable.

C
Communication
Is information flowing in both directions? Does your team feel heard when they raise something? When it drops: Your team has stopped telling you what's going wrong.
L
Learning
Are people growing? Do they feel like they're developing new skills or just repeating the same work? When it drops: People feel stuck. The ones with options start exploring them.
O
Opportunity
Can people see a future here? Is there somewhere to go, or does the path ahead look flat? When it drops: Your best people start browsing job boards.
V
Vulnerability
Can people be honest without risk? When something's wrong, do they say it or hide it? When it drops: You get a team that says 'everything's fine' in every meeting.
E
Enablement
Do people have what they need to do their job well? Are blockers being removed or ignored? When it drops: Frustration builds. Good people start feeling like they're fighting the system.
R
Reflection
Do people feel recognized? Is their contribution visible to the people who matter? When it drops: People start to feel invisible. Discretionary effort disappears first.
