The 90-Minute Stay Interview Workshop for Managers

Don't wait for the exit interview to find out why people leave. Learn to run proactive stay conversations that build loyalty.

About this session

Most organizations only learn why an employee was unhappy during the exit interview, when it is already too late to retain them. This workshop provides a 90-minute structure for managers to practice proactive dialogue that uncovers what keeps people engaged and what might drive them away.

Why it works

The four-step process creates a low-pressure environment where managers can move from surface-level check-ins to identifying specific triggers for turnover. By documenting these conversations into a formal action plan, the session ensures that employee feedback leads to visible changes in the work environment rather than remaining as abstract complaints.

What you’ll walk away with

  • Clear actionable outcomes from a 4-step facilitated process
  • Increased participant engagement and buy-in
  • Documented decisions and next steps
  • Improved team alignment on the topic

Who it’s for

HR Leaders, People Ops
