Conduct "Stay Interviews" instead of waiting for exit interviews.
Retain | Workplace Culture
"The ear of the leader must ring with the voices of the people." — Woodrow Wilson
Objective
Equip managers with proactive stay interview techniques to uncover employee needs, solve workplace frustration early, and strengthen culture to retain key talent.
Facilitation Strategies:
• Host "Stay Interview Coffee Chats" on job sites, inviting trade workers and site staff for informal, one-on-one check-ins to discuss career growth and workplace satisfaction.
• Provide managers with a pocket-sized "Stay Plan" toolkit containing key prompt questions to help guide constructive, low-pressure conversations during daily stand-downs.
• Launch a digital "Feedback Box" QR code posted in trailers and breakrooms to let team members anonymously submit topics they wish to cover in their stay interview.
• Conduct quarterly "Stay Discussion Workshops" for leaders to role-play proactive listening techniques and learn how to translate employee feedback into actionable site improvements.
