I have regular 121s with staff and promote an open environment but this article was interesting in terms of the positioning of these discussions. and the cost of replacing employees

An interesting article and important in the current times.  We are remote working mostly and it is important to have regular contact with all levels of the team to assess how they are doing and how they feel we can make improvements.  We don't have the usual visual clues with team members to see how they are feeling and doing.

Succinct article - Experience has taught us the value of these when we've seen them unfortunately lacking in many companies - as always sometimes the poor experiences teach us much

We have 1:1 meetings and Bi Monthly Company meetings (very much like the mentioned Stay interviews in this article). They are very productive and informative, making the company more proactive than reactive.


We also have annual Staff Survey which is Anonymous in-depth survey asking from what the company is good at and what it is bad out. Therefore allowing/enables staff that would not normally have the confidence to speak out have their say.  Means everyone is getting a chance

application of the age old saying - prevention is better than the cure!
