Stay Interview

A stay interview is a conversation led by an HR manager or a direct supervisor with the goal of assessing an employee’s engagement and likelihood of staying with the organization.

Explanation and Benefits

To conduct an effective stay interview, all stakeholders should carefully prepare their questions, create a comfortable and open discussion environment, and demonstrate active listening.

By understanding the factors that influence an employee’s decision to stay with the organization, employers can make informed decisions to improve the work environment and address potential issues before they escalate.

The goal of a stay interview is to minimize the need for exit interviews. By actively listening to employee feedback, expectations, and concerns, organizations can retain their top talent and foster long-term commitment.
