# IMAGE_PROMPT: Retention Management

**Last Updated:** 2026-03-03

## Core Concept / Metaphor

Retention Management = strategic process, systematic planning, data-driven approach – strategic framework for employee retention, distinct from Mitarbeiterbindung (outcome). Process-focused (how to retain), not just outcome.

## Key Elements (On-Theme)

- Modern office with strategic planning elements: charts, data visualization, planning boards
- Professional workspace with analytical tools visible
- Clean, structured composition emphasizing process and methodology
- Cool blues and grays with strategic accent colors (amber/orange for data points)
- Conveys strategic thinking, systematic approach, data-driven decisions

## Why Not (Anti-Patterns)

- WARM OFFICE + SILHOUETTES (mitarbeiterbindung)
- CAFE (employee-engagement)
- ARCHITECTURAL/minimalist desk, no people (work-life-balance)
- Generic handshakes, blue sphere, sundial, floating pie chart
- Dramatic golden-hour silhouettes

## Composition / Camera

Wide shot, clean lines, professional depth. Strategic planning elements in foreground (charts, boards), modern office environment in background. Structured, analytical – not warm or emotional.

## Mood / Atmosphere

Professional, strategic, systematic, data-driven – "strategic retention planning"
