The Power of Stay Interviews for Engagement and Retention

by Richard P. Finnegan

An Updated Classic for Reducing Turnover and Improving Engagement. For decades organizations have struggled to better engage and retain their best employees. Retention expert Richard Finnegan proposes a proven and proactive approach, the Stay Interview: an easy-to-use tool to uncover, anticipate, and resolve issues and concerns before your best employees leave. Stay Interviews do three things that employee surveys do not: they deliver information that can be used today; they give practical insights for engaging and retaining top performers; and they provide managers with a reliable process for developing individual stay plans. One of SHRM's all-time bestselling books, The Power of Stay Interviews,is now revised and updated to reflect Generations at work, including Millennials and Older Workers, brand-new Stay Interview questions, and introduces “Finnegan’s Arrow”—a potent business-driven strategy for Stay Interviews.

[Bethany · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is simple. If we want to know why employees stay. Ask them. It just takes 5 questions and actively listening to understand your employees better.

A little dated but a powerful tool for helping address the retention challenges that many large companies are experiencing.
