Think over your life. Think about the people that have had a positive influence on you. If your past was like mine, many of them didn’t realize the impact they made. The influence was usually due to them caring about you and doing some little thing.

As a manager, one of the best ways to keep quality employees is through relationship. Make them feel important, wanted and respected. One of the best ways to keep your hand on the pulse of your team is conducting stay interviews.

“Stay interviews are meetings in which managers ask standard, structured question sin a casual and conversational manner to find out why their employees stay and what causes them to leave.”

This will help managers understand the inner culture of their office, if there is anything or anyone disrupting the flow of production. Stay interviews also build trust with employees by making them feel heard and appreciated. As your building your team, quarterly stay interviews will help keep your team strong.
