Stay Interviews

I'd say what's covered in a stay interview can overlap with the kinds of conversations you'd have normally, but I see them as being more targeted - particularly useful when you know there needs to be change and you're seeking more detailed feedback as part of other data you're collecting. Given that performance reviews often focus more on other aspects of an employee's work, there won't always be the chance for a broader conversation. And since many companies conduct them once a year, the timing may not be helpful for why you are wanting the information. Also, with more hybrid/remote working in place, we have to be more intentional about our conversations so I think stay interviews have their place. As far as implementing them, Premila, this looks like a helpful 3-part article from SHRM: www.shrm.org/.../Stay-Interview-How-To.aspx
