If you’re serious about retaining the people on your team (as you should be), consider conducting “stay” interviews. These are discussions where you ask loyal employees key questions to understand how engaged they are. The information you gather can help you tackle common retention issues. Here are four questions to try:?
- What’s your frame of mind today? No matter what the response is — positive or negative — don’t negate their experience or move too quickly to solving a problem. Just listen, thank them for being honest, and ask for more information before moving toward a solution.
- Who do you feel connected to at work? Based on their response, explore what you can do to help them deepen those connections. Perhaps people from different departments can work on a company-wide event, a cross-division initiative, or take part in virtual discussion groups.
- What do you want to learn that will excite you and help you grow? This question signals that you care about their development and want to help them achieve their aspirations.
- What barriers can I remove for you to help you do your job better? Then brainstorm with your colleague how you can be most helpful. Ensuring people can do their jobs well is just as important as praise and rewards.

2 个月The right HR person will make sure he/she will get close to the employees. Those questions should be asked in a very relaxed manner and environment. During the break or while you are taking a short coffee break, while standing together. To avoid any sense or sentiment of manipulation, you would start by saying: I have formal questions for you Joanne: Hit the 1st. And ask if the employee agrees for a 2nd one and so one. Because meeting with HR is not always a welcoming experience. The confident person will not have any problems answering questions. But the majority would prefer avoiding that.
HBR's decision to extend its management tips to the LinkedIn platform is laudable. This is an excellent idea which will provide access to practical weekly advice for all professionals.
