An Updated Classic for Reducing Turnover and Improving Engagement.

For decades organizations have struggled to better engage and retain their best employees. Retention expert Richard Finnegan proposes a proven and proactive approach, the Stay Interview: an easy-to-use tool to uncover, anticipate, and resolve issues and concerns before your best employees leave. Stay Interviews do three things that employee surveys do not: they deliver information that can be used today; they give practical insights for engaging and retaining top performers; and they provide managers with a reliable process for developing individual stay plans. One of SHRM's all-time bestselling books, The Power of Stay Interviews, is now revised and updated to reflect Generations at work, including Millennials and Older Workers, brand-new Stay Interview questions, and introduces “Finnegan’s Arrow”—a potent business-driven strategy for Stay Interviews.
