Improving Retention with Stay Interviews
Les Buckley, Company Director and Ludologist, emphasizes the importance of stay interviews in the employee life cycle to improve retention. These are strategic 15-20 minute conversations between leaders and employees to understand and address their needs, ultimately preventing turnover.
Buckley shares five pivotal questions that form the core of effective stay interviews, helping managers engage and retain their top talent:
1. "What do you look forward to at work each day? This question opens the floor to understanding daily motivators and challenges".
2. "What motivated you to join us originally? Captures the initial attraction to the organization and how those motivations have evolved".
3. "Why do you stay here? This probes into the core reasons behind an employee's loyalty to the organization".
4. "When was the last time you thought about leaving? Identifying triggers for potential exits allows for proactive retention strategies".
5. "What can I do to make your work experience better? A direct appeal to understand how to improve an employee's daily work life".
“In summary, stay interviews, when conducted effectively, can transform organizational culture, making it more conducive to retaining top talent. The process is simple, yet the impact is significant, leading to a more engaged, motivated, and loyal workforce”.
