Unlocking Employee Retention: The Power of ‘Why Do You Stay?’©

In this era of extreme competition for top talent, companies are always on the lookout for ways to retain their most valuable players. To achieve this aim, it is crucial to comprehend the needs, aspirations, and inclinations of employees. Typically, engagement surveys are leveraged for this purpose. However, traditional surveys may not always deliver the insights needed to retain employees. 

This is where TRANSEARCH’s ‘Why Do You Stay?’© assessment comes in. This innovative evaluation approach helps employers understand why their employees remain committed to the company. 

By leveraging this assessment, companies can gain an in-depth understanding of the factors influencing employee retention and take the necessary steps to keep their top performers engaged.

Let’s review the differences between Engagement Surveys and the ‘Why Do You Stay?’© assessment.

Engagement Surveys: A Traditional Approach

Engagement surveys have long been the go-to tool for measuring the emotional attachment of employees to their workplace. These surveys typically focus on:

  • Job satisfaction

  • Recognition

  • Opportunities for professional growth

While they offer a glimpse into overall morale and engagement, traditional surveys often need more depth to understand the factors driving employees to stay.

TRANSEARCH’s ‘Why Do You Stay?’© tool transcends the limitations of conventional engagement surveys. This proprietary process aims to delve deeper into the hearts and minds of employees, uncovering their reasons for sticking around and, ultimately, building more resilient and productive teams.

What sets ‘Why Do You Stay?’© apart?
