Will They Stay or Will They Go? How Stay Interviews Can Help You Keep the Good Ones

Whine with HR

You've probably been there - going along, everything seems fine, and then out of the blue, one of your best employees quits. How did you not see it? Why didn't they say anything to you? Are other employees thinking about leaving? In this episode, we discuss how conducting stay interviews can help you keep the employees you want to keep and potentially alert you to brewing problems. These interviews do not have to be stressful or anxiety-provoking - they can actually be fun! And they are a great way to make sure your best employees are getting what they need to stay engaged and with the company for a long period of time. Tune in to find out more about this underutilized tool!
