Stay interviews are gaining ground as a retention tool. Instead of asking departing staff why they quit, a stay interview asks current employees why they stay, so you can strengthen retention before people start looking elsewhere.
This 60-minute webinar shows managers how to add stay interviews to their engagement and retention strategy. The approach motivates employees, who see that the organization and their manager care about their future. It is personal, built around one individual's needs rather than what appeals to most staff. And unlike exit interviews, which only surface problems, it leads to actions that improve the employee experience and remove major turnover triggers.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
The best way to learn what keeps your top talent is to ask them specific questions: what they enjoy most and least, whether they have room to grow, and what might make them leave. Stay interviews help managers understand why employees stay, reinforce those factors, and catch frustrations early.
They also build trust and give a read on engagement across the team. This session suits executives, HR leaders, directors, managers, supervisors and team leaders.
