# Establish quarterly reviews of retention metrics

**Action:** Review retention metrics and scheduling patterns quarterly to refine local rules.

Create a continuous feedback loop between corporate analytics teams and frontline store managers. Review retention metrics and scheduling patterns on a **quarterly** basis to refine and adjust scheduling rules — treating the process as a **living experiment** rather than a set-and-forget policy.

This is **Step 4** of the [[framework-customized-scheduling-playbook|playbook]], grounded in [[quote-living-experiment]].

**Expected outcome:** A continuous learning system that adapts scheduling practices to evolving workforce dynamics.
