Consider stay interviews to boost retention

A stay interview is a conversation you have with your employee to discover what they like about their role, and what they would like to change.  Have you thought about adding stay interviews to your onboarding or people management strategies?  They can be a great addition to your talent management strategy and can also result in less exit interviews.

When recruitment is tight and turnover high, stay interviews can support better retention as they give you a good idea of what your people want and need, how they are finding their job and team, and of any underlying issues.

Stay interviews can help you learn what matters to your people and what they’d like to see improve, long before they decide to find another opportunity.

Where you do get a heads up on any issues, positive or areas for improvement, it is important that you follow up on any actions. When you act on the feedback your people feel valued and heard. Showing you are invested in your people and their growth can set you apart as an employer of choice.
