ASK THE EXPERT

​

Q: “We’re growing fast — how do we ensure new managers are ready to lead?”

HR TIP OF THE MONTH

Use Stay Interviews — Not Just Exit Interviews
Before you lose great employees, ask them why they stay.
Conduct “stay interviews” quarterly and explore:

• - What’s working well for them

• - What could be improved

• - How they feel about leadership and growth

This proactive approach reduces turnover and increases engagement.
