ADVICE

Run Short One-On-One Stay Interviews

  • Do regular one-on-one stay interviews to uncover issues before they escalate.
  • Keep them short (under 30 minutes) and focused on retention, not performance.
ADVICE

Schedule Early And Regular Check-Ins

  • Do an initial stay interview within the first 30–90 days to catch early problems.
  • Repeat them at least annually to maintain engagement and spot changes.
ADVICE

Make Interviews Informal And Documented

  • Hold interviews in informal settings (coffee, walk, Zoom) to relax employees and encourage honesty.
  • Take notes or record (with permission) so you can follow up on issues later.
