Stay Interviews • Has to be systematic. • Retain & maximize the potential of your current staff • If one person is concerned about an issue, then you can count on others feeling much the same way. • Provides a forum where employees can provide constructive feedback on their concerns or questions. • Works well at 6 months of employment, then annually with each person. Two different versions should exist (6 month vs tenured) • Introduce the concept during onboarding so they know they will have stay interviews in the future. • Evaluate the questions to ensure they truly fit your organization.
Sample Questions – Stay IV’s • What about your job makes you excited to come to work each day? • Do you feel challenged? • What are you struggling with in your current job? • Do you feel your work is meaningful? Why or why not? • What specifically do you enjoy most about your current job and working at TMF (including people, job, rewards, job content, coworkers, management etc.). • Do those factors contribute to you staying at our firm as long as you have? • What did you love in your last position that you are not doing now? • What opportunities for self-improvement would you like to have that go beyond your current role? • How could your RVP help you to grow in your role and reach your professional goals? • What kind of feedback would you like about your performance that you aren’t currently receiving? • If you “managed yourself,” what would you do differently (in relation to managing “you”), that your current manager/RVP doesn’t currently do? • What are your career goals? • What contributes the most to your job satisfaction? • If there was one thing we could do better as an organization, what would it be?
