Employee Retention, Engagement, and Leadership Team Career Planning Part 2

Continuing our discussion on all things employee retention, engagement and career planning to retain our leadership team's loyalty and longevity in our organizations

(00:42) When no one internally has done it before: Hire an external with the experience or give it to a high-performing internal?
(04:06)Career planning conversations with your manager… but you want their job: How do you have the conversation?
(09:44) Employee appreciation is so important and yet I have never seen on a manager’s performance appraisal template anything about expectations for showing appreciation for employees – why the gap?
(13:21) Thoughts on boomeranging (i.e. when an employee leaves for another job and then wants to rejoin your company)
(17:27) Exit Interviews: Who should be doing them and how to create transparency?
(20:39) Exit Interviews: Do people tell the truth? And if not, what’s the value?
(22:44) Stay Interviews: What is the meta program? What are you trying to unearth?
(27:05) Gatekeeping: When managers don’t want to promote their high-performers because they don’t want to lose their best people… How can we create a culture where managers are proud when the people they develop get promoted in the company?
(31:09) Nowhere to climb, nowhere to grow: When there isn’t a career path in the org chart and your people want promotions and new job titles.
