Most companies call retention a strategic priority, yet fewer than half have a specific plan, and general retention efforts tend to be costly with little effect on turnover. Stay interviews, also called retention interviews, offer a targeted alternative.
This 60-minute webinar shows how to use stay interviews to learn what would make each employee stay or go, and then build a realistic plan with them. The toolkit centers on interview questions across ten key retention factors.
You'll also learn to track retention against flight risk and performance, understand the real cost of turnover, measure the right metrics and hold managers accountable for retention.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Turnover drives up costs and reduces effectiveness, and stay interviews tackle it at the source by focusing on high-impact employees and spotting retention risk early. They can also raise motivation, engagement, development and empowerment.
This session suits HR leaders, managers, supervisors, directors, VPs, CEOs, board members and any leader who wants to reduce the wrong turnover.
