Calling All Managers: Conduct 'Stay Interviews' to Reduce Turnover

bossesSure, we all know about exit interviews. You know, the meeting between human resources and the employee who is about to leave the job.

Instead of waiting for an employee to leave to find out the reasons why they were unhappy (that is, if they’ll even reveal them), why not try to prevent turnover altogether and have a conversation while they’re still an active employee?

Per the piece, one approach to be proactive involves understanding why an employee stays in their job.
