Course Description

Learn how to conduct stay interviews and keep your most talented employees.

As many organizations resume work after a global pandemic has raged, employers find that they are in a war for talent and must find creative ways to attract talented people and retain those people. If leaders do not take steps to identify what attracts and keeps people in their organizations, they will find themselves outclassed by other organizations that pay more, provide better benefits, or otherwise treat people better. This topic will help employers understand what stay interviews are, how they differ from exit interviews, and how stay interviews may be used in combination with other approaches to enhance the likelihood that people will stay in organizations. This information is critical for employers so they can build a climate that will attract and keep talented, productive people.
