For the last 9 years, Keeping the People, Inc. has tracked visitors to their website representing all major industries, position levels, functions and demographics to find out why people are leaving organizations.

(Exact wording: From the list, please check up to, but no more than, five factors that first caused you to start thinking seriously about leaving your organization.)
