What is a stay interview?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A stay interview is a retention<\/a> tool where a manager or HR representative meets with an employee and asks questions about their work satisfaction to gauge what keeps them around and what might tempt them to leave the organization.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

How should HR and managers approach stay interviews?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

Stay interviews can be standardized through check-in meetings scheduled at regular intervals, such as annually, or can be implemented as needed, meeting with employees who are believed to be at risk of leaving. To conduct a stay interview effectively, a manager or HR representative should approach the employee in a positive and conversational way during a private meeting. You can open the dialogue by telling the employee you\u2019d like to know how you can support them to make working at the organization a great experience. Ask the employee standardized, open-ended questions and listen carefully, documenting their responses. Then think of ways you can work to retain the employee based on their feedback. Schedule a follow-up meeting to discuss areas the employee identified need improvement and to determine next steps.<\/p>\n
