Employee Retention Struggles: How Do You Convince Someone to Stay?

Hello All,

I am working in Gujarat with a software company. I would like to know how we can retain employees who want to leave the company in detail.

First, find out why they are leaving, either through employee surveys or exit interviews, and try to address those issues. The reasons may vary from salary packages to work-life balance issues, from growth opportunities to a happy work environment.

Firstly, you have to find out the real reasons they want to leave your company. If you notice some behaviors or signs of resignation, you will need to prepare for a stay interview.

A Stay Interview is a periodic one-on-one structured retention interview between a manager and a highly valued "at-risk-of-leaving employee" that identifies and then reinforces the factors that drive an employee to stay. It also identifies and minimizes any "triggers" that might cause them to consider quitting.

Hope this helps!
