In the world of workforce research (i.e. employee surveys) the key objective is to measure or diagnose specific employee issues that are occurring in an organization.
Stay Interviews are quickly entering the vernacular of the business world and providing an alternative to the traditional engagement/satisfaction survey. Intent to stay is one of the most important questions to ask when assessing employee engagement, but there is a catch. Almost every employee survey has a question regarding “intent to stay.” However, the most important question, is WHY? If we only have a statistical measure of our employees’ intent to stay, that data leaves out this important question. Companies have to know why employees plan to stay or leave and the duration they plan to remain at the organization. The only way to really get the answers to these questions and build an engaged workforce, is to conduct stay interviews.
To retain talented employees and reduce human capital costs, companies must understand and respond to the ever evolving preferences, expectations, and intents of the workplace. Taking a proactive approach by conducting stay interviews throughout the organization in a pulse model (surveying 25% of the population or certain populations each quarter) will provide the data necessary to make evidence-based decisions to improve your workplace.
