Recommendation

Companies invest in their employees, but that investment goes out the door when a staff member leaves. The employee’s expertise and institutional knowledge leave as well. To prevent unnecessary departures, Beverly Kaye and Sharon Jordan-Evans suggest holding “stay interviews” – one-on-one sessions in which managers tell employees how valuable they are to the company and ask what would keep them on the payroll. The authors, both career experts, explain what stay interviews accomplish, how to prepare for them and how they function in different cultures. getAbstract recommends this handy playbook to all managers, HR personnel, small-business owners, entrepreneurs and anyone seeking a new tool to keep employees happy at work.

Take-Aways

  • Firms lose money, expertise and productivity when employees leave.
  • Employees who leave often recruit colleagues to leave as well.
  • “Stay interviews” motivate and engage employees, and enhance productivity.
