The End of Revolving-Door Leadership

If these meetings are handled successfully, new-employee turnover is reduced by 66 percent. Use a structured list of questions to discover not only what’s not going well, but also what is going well. You can be certain that your new employee is comparing her first few weeks of work with your organization to her last week at her previous job — which was filled with well wishes, tearful good-byes and probably a going-away party. Clearly, your organization will get the short end of an unfavorable comparison. These meetings will help you shore up an otherwise tenuous relationship.
