Notas do Editor
- Many of you have heard Dick speak before or read his books
- One on the left started the buzz. The one on the right was recently published in 20 languages
This is not a fad, or engagement initiative of the month. These are here to stay. And will likely replace surveys!
Have Dick tell the book publishing story: tell me how these books came to be.
Spending: $1.53 Billion per year
And yet engagement scores are flat and turnover costs are rising
Throughout boom/bust economies, war, recession – nothing moves the needle.
Doing a lot of things with the right ideas but we need to change the tools we are using
Simply spending time and money in the wrong areas on the wrong people
Focus needs to be on helping managers connect with their direct reports on a personal level
Tool we are talking about today is STAYview
Bring in Dick
Through years of research and practical application with clients around the world. These are the 5 carefully structured questions that Dick and his team have identified that you need for an effective Stay Interview.
It’s not just the questions, it’s the approach.
What kind of responses do you see from this?
This is not as much about an employee development plan as it is aligning them better with the organization, right?
Is this the most important question?
Seems like a tough/scary question to ask
Powerful.
- the secret to the stay interview is what happens after
- The stay plan.
How do you keep the manager from feeling overwhelmed
Examples of some common actions?
What are some outcomes/benefits of these stay plans?
How have you seen them help the engagement process?
We wanted to include this because it’s so critical to measure
One of the issues with other engagement/retention tools is that is not an accurate way to measure results
With stay interviews you can, but as you always say – you need to know your numbers!
The biggest, most important, and probably most surprising number is your turnover cost. So let’s start here.
I never thought about it this way until you brought it up.
This is a trend starting to include turnover forecasting
If you were to imagine in your head right now what your heatmap would look like, how does that make you feel
Quite surprising when people see this for the first time after the first round of stay interviews, right?
More customized version from STAYview
Managers are the catalyst, not HR
Now we have to transfer your knowledge to them to execute
If it boiled down to one thing, it would be this.
4 main skills we must teach
Have to break old habits: this is not a performance review
for those that don’t want to reinvent the wheel, we’ve done the hard part
With Dick, we have developed the first complete Stay Interview System
Everything you need to quickly & easily implement
Here are some examples from ideas we shared today
Going to have a demo next week for those interested (watch email)
