14 of your engineers sit in roles a competitor is now hiring for in the same metro. Of your six named competitors, two announced hiring pushes (one a 200-role engineering plan in Austin), one froze hiring in September, and none announced layoffs. The freeze is at the company that takes most of your sales exits, which lowers near-term risk there.
Your attrition runs five points above comparable health systems, and the excess sits in night-shift units with the widest spans of control. Registered nurse attrition is 19% across comparable systems and 24% at your organization. Scheduling, manager workloads, and exit feedback in those units are where the difference shows up.
Phoenix and Denver will be your hardest hires: two competitors started seasonal pushes there early, and your time-to-fill in both already runs nine days longer than elsewhere. Associate postings across your metros are up 22% since August and advertised wages are 6% higher than last year.
You have the hub but none of the spokes, and your product teams report the lowest AI readiness in the company. Software companies your size have converged on a hub-and-spoke model: a small central AI function for standards and platforms, with AI specialists embedded in product teams. New roles cluster in AI product management and evaluation.
Two practices, not pay, are behind your losses to competitors: promotion cadence and learning budget, both named in your exit interviews. On parental leave and flexible work you lead all three competitors. Market pay for your top three roles sits within 3% of theirs.
38% of your regretted exits over the past two years went to the same three companies. Exit interviews for the top destination cite growth, not pay. Two of the three hire disproportionately from organizations your size. Your own inbound flow is strongest from two universities and one competitor that is now shrinking.
31 high performers have waited 18+ months for a promotion, and comparable companies keep this group with scoped stretch roles and visible promotion windows, not titles. They are concentrated in product and data; three already have open stretch roles nearby.

EXPERTISE BEHIND THE PRODUCT
Built on lessons from the people shaping modern work
Through conversations with leading operators, researchers, and executives, we bring current thinking on talent and organizational performance into how Surface interprets signals and recommends action. Here's what we learned from Peter Fasolo, former CHRO at Johnson & Johnson:

Peter Fasolo
Former CHRO, Johnson & Johnson
Know the market, not just the workforce
Peter earned his seat in strategy by studying competitors and customers as closely as his own people. He went out with a sales rep every quarter until the day he left.
Map the skills the future needs
The CHROs he rates know the skills in their workforce, map what future jobs require, and close the gaps with training, gig assignments, and projects.
Start from the value drivers
