Stay interviews are an important means of re-recruiting your workforce – because what attracts your employees is often different from what will keep them. Stay interviews tend to improve engagement and productivity - as well as retention. In this webinar, you will learn how to prepare for, conduct & follow through on stay interviews.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Turnover today is rampant because employees can be choosy with:
- The lowest unemployment rate in 48 years
- For the first time ever in the U.S., there are more job openings than eligible candidates
- Over half of U.S. employees say it is 'somewhat likely' or 'very likely' they can find a job as good as the one they have 50% of employees & 60% of millennials considering new employment opportunities the average tenure for employees in their 20’s being less than 18 months
And turnover is expensive with the cost of replacing a:
- $10-hour employee over $3,000
- $30-50,000 job over $8,000
- Replacing a $100,000 often over $200,000
However, engaged employees when compared to unengaged employees have:
» 65% less turnover in low-turnover organizations and 25% lower turnover in high-turnover organizations
