Hello Stay Interviews, Goodbye Talent Loss: A Manager's Playbook

The latest offering from the bestselling duo of Bev Kaye and Sharon Jordan-Evans-who have sold over 800,000 copies of their previous titles in twenty-two languages-offers a radically simple idea: you can avoid having "exit" interviews when employees are leaving if you have "stay" interviews that will keep them.

Since 1999 Bev Kaye and Sharon Jordan-Evans have been teaching managers how to conduct stay interviews, a concept they originated. It seems so simple-just ask what would make your key employees stay. Yet most managers will admit they are not conducting stay interviews (and their bosses are not conducting them either!). Why? Because they're afraid of opening Pandora's box. They ask, "What if I ask my talented people what will keep them and they all say money or a promotion or a Tesla?" Good point. So the fear of being unable to deliver on someone's request gets in the way of having the most crucial dialogue of all.

This book highlights why stay interviews are important; it underscores the real costs of talent lost, both tangible and intangible. Kaye and Jordan-Evans teach managers to hold these conversations and to do so with joy-not dread. They equip them with an easy four-step process they can use when an employee tosses them a tough-to-deliver-on request. It works like magic. There is to date no stay interview guide designed for and written directly to managers; this will be the first.
