Overview:

It's an informal conversation between you and your talented employees to better understand their goals and what motivates them so that they continue to be engaged and excited about their jobs. Stay interviews can also help you recognize some of the big, and even little frustrations, that have the potential to demotivate and drive your key people to start looking for a better job.

You'll gain practical tools, sample questions, real-life examples, and a roadmap to begin implementing stay conversations immediately. You will learn how to conduct stay interviews effectively, uncover what truly matters to your people, and take action—before it's too late.

Whether you're in HR, a team leader, or part of senior management, if you're serious about retaining your talent and creating a workplace where people choose to stay, this is a session you can't afford to miss.

Why should you Attend: Employee turnover is expensive, disruptive, and often preventable. Stay interviews are one of the most underutilized yet powerful tools for employee retention.

This could include workload issues, lack of recognition, career development or other problems that can cause them to start looking elsewhere
  • Build Trust and Communication: The process of conducting stay interviews demonstrates that the organization values its employees and their input, fostering a sense of trust and making them more likely to stay with you
  • Most Importantly Reduce Turnover Costs: By proactively dealing with issues and improving employee satisfaction, stay interviews can help reduce employee turnover, saving the organization time and money associated with hiring and training new staff
