Turnover is costly, especially when your most talented people leave, since they are the most recruited, the hardest to replace and may take top performers or customers with them. This 90-minute stay interviews training shows managers how to keep them.
Managers account for most of the variance in engagement and retention, and many employees leave their boss rather than their job. Building trust is the single biggest lever a manager has, and stay interviews are a direct way to do it.
You'll learn what stay interviews are and aren't, how to start a program, how often to hold them, core questions and probes, how to close the conversation and how to follow through with an action plan.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Stay interviews re-recruit your talent by finding out why people stay and what might make them leave. They make employees feel valued, strengthen or repair manager relationships, identify needs that shape a better employee experience and help prevent exit interviews.
The webinar suits anyone with leadership, management or supervisory responsibility.
