What to ask in a stay interview
Stay interviews should focus on how your employee feels about the work they do every day, the value of their contributions and how they feel within the organization.
Send workers a few starter questions to prepare for the conversation ahead of time.
Some common questions are:
- What excites you to come into work?
- Do you feel good about the impact of your work?
- What do you want to do more of at work? Less?
- Do you see a future for yourself at the company? How are things the same or different?
- If you were manager for a day, what would you do differently?
