Stay Conversations: How to Retain High Performers Before They Quit
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Your high performers aren't telling you they're unhappy—until they hand in their resignation. By the time you're conducting an exit interview, it's too late. The solution? Stay interviews.
In this episode, I break down the proactive conversation framework that helps 74% of companies prevent 75% of departures. You'll learn:
- The 5 core questions that uncover why people stay (and what might make them leave)
- How to create psychological safety so high performers tell you the truth
- What to do with the information once you get it—because listening without action destroys trust
- The unique needs of high performers and how to address them
- When to have these conversations (and common timing mistakes to avoid)
With only 28% of organizations conducting stay interviews, this is your competitive advantage. Stop losing your best people because you didn't ask the right questions at the right time.
