Gallup reported that more than half of employees said that in their last three months on the job before quitting, no one asked how they were doing.

We’re all familiar with exit interviews. But now, it’s more important to have those discussions before employees quit.

Studies show that companies that conduct stay interviews benefit from a higher percentage of engaged, motivated employees, with lower turnover. In fact, a recent survey from Eagle Hill Consulting shows that 48% of workers say connection to their work affects whether they are inclined to stay with their employers. 

And with unemployment so low, it's essential that you learn how to use stay interviews to retain your best employees now before they jump to a competitor. Learn how to stop those exit interviews by examining what excites employees, what annoys them, and what your company can do to retain their services.

Recognition and inclusion are ways to keep top workers from leaving. On July 13, gather your managers and HR staff to learn how to develop, implement, and act on these timely stay interviews.

A Stay Interviews Testimonial

Since I started in 2011, I have tried to influence Sr. Leadership to conduct stay interviews! I was finally given the opportunity by sharing this webinar Information with my boss.

We have had so many people leave the company even without notice and with the Great Resignation, the change in work integrity, work/life balance, the need for more flexible work hours, working from home, and loss of good relationships with co-workers, it is ever more important to LISTEN to our workers. I conduct nearly every exit interview unless the employee leaves w/o notice. Many say they may have stayed if they knew they had any alternatives or that anyone would listen and hear them.

I think I’ve finally got Sr. Leadership’s attention, so thank you! It will be my retirement gift to them. Company culture only means something if the culture is fairly interpreted and abided by all employees. I could go on but I’ll leave it with that! Many thanks!

Employee Retention Strategies

Hiring is expensive, timely, and harms productivity. That’s why employee retention is so vital. Keeping employees on staff and engaged helps productivity, saves money, and keeps valuable institutionalized knowledge within the organization.

However, as companies struggle to maintain employees, what can you do to set your organization apart and keep talent on staff? Employers need to work harder than ever to retain their current staff. Some solutions include improving employee benefits, allowing telecommuting, and optimizing the onboarding process.
