Employee Retention | Manager/Employee 1:1s
Competitive pay, half-day Fridays, and snack-stocked break rooms are company perks that catch your eye as a potential new hire. They certainly entice you while interviewing and for the first few weeks on the job. But what’s left to retain folks when the novelty wears off? It’s the company culture and, ultimately, an environment of trust and healthy work relationships.
We are social beings with basic needs, take Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, for example, workplace elements can be found in all layers. Starting with Physiological (you need $ to provide these needs), Safety (job security), Belonging (sense of camaraderie), Esteem (respect and recognition) and ending with Self-Actualization which is where the employee is supported by the foundational layers and operates at full-potential as a highly productive member of the team. The key to cultivating an award-winning culture begins with rapport & trust. This takes a thoughtful approach and time, so don’t expect overnight results. Manager and employee 1:1s (or ‘“stay interviews”) are a great place to start, but there are crucial elements that make them successful.
Okay, okay - I’ve scheduled my regular 1:1 with my employees, now what? How do I know what to ask? How do I know if I am asking the “right” questions to get the feedback I need?
Here is a list of foundational questions to get you started:
