Ask what would make your employee leave

Perhaps most importantly during the Great Resignation, managers should ask their employees what it would take for them to leave the company.

As a supervisor, it’s your job to bring this feedback to the larger organization to see how you can provide the tools, resources or opportunities your employee isn’t currently getting, such as a clear sense of purpose, stretch assignments, fair wages or greater flexibility.

Don’t be surprised if your employee initiates a stay interview conversation if you’re not proactively doing so.
