How to use it
Your first 15 minutes
Step 1 is the Retention and Stay Interview Field Guide, file 6. Work down from there, and by step 5 you do what you said.
Read the Field Guide first. It makes the case for retention, walks through how to run a stay interview, and flags when a conversation needs more than a plan.
Score who to talk to. Open the Workbook’s Flight-Risk Scorer, list the people you most want to keep, and let it rank them by retention priority.
Run the conversation. Use the script and worksheet in the Templates. Ask, listen far more than you talk, and do not promise what you cannot deliver. Turn it into a plan.
Fill the retention action plan, commit to one to three real actions, and log them on the Workbook’s Retention Action Log with an owner and a date. Follow up and re-score.
Do what you said, check back on the dates you set, and re-score people as things change. A stay interview with no follow-through does more harm than none.
