Address burn-out before its too late with our Leadership Stay Interviews

Just like everyone else leaders too have had ‘Covid Clarity’ as a result of the pandemic. CEO attrition went up over 16% percent in the last quarter of 2021 as compared to the same time period the previous year. More recent research is indicating that almost 70% of senior executives are thinking of resigning. The constant challenges of our VUCA world combined with changes in expectations of different stakeholders has created unprecedented stress for leaders who are also expected to inspire by example. In touch with sentiment amongst talent, we have identified the need to address this and have developed a Leadership Stay Interview process to address potential attrition before it’s too late.

Strategic Exit Interviews

Exit interviews that go much deeper. We deploy qualitative research and look for patterns. To get real insight, use an objective third party like us to make strategic use of your exit interview findings. Unearth what people are really thinking and feeling; go beyond the rational responses that you see in survey after survey. Tap into the underlying feelings and patterns. Exit interviews, stay interviews, cultural analysis, connecting the dots from people analytics and qualitative research. Add real insights that move the needle on your people and business agenda.

Testimonials

We engaged Bricoleur to conduct a comprehensive interview with our 2nd line executives to understand their motivations to unleash their potential and get their feedback on our company’s growth trajectory since our inception 4 years ago. We wanted to understand their perspectives on our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, as well as their suggestions for improvement and innovation.

'Real' Insight can Move the Needle

The evolution of HR to incorporate People Analytics tools has dramatically changed people practices in many organisations. With this evolution there has been an emphasis on quantification of people related aspects. While extremely useful, the picture can get clearer in two ways to get to ‘real’ insight:

1. Qualitative research to get to the ‘why’ in any issue. For example in the case of DEI, when after years of trying to actively move the needle on improving inclusion when you hit a roadblock, qualitative research  can help you look behind the numbers to see what’s going on inside people’s heads. Qualitative research and its various methodologies can be instrumental in behaviour change to help develop a more diverse leadership pipeline.

2. We are deluged with data today.We help connect the data points from different sources both quantitative and qualitative. Making sense of it requires sifting through the peripheral to get to the nub of an issue.

No HR plan, especially when looking at engagement and burnout related issues, is complete without delving deeper, into the feelings, emotions and perceptions of the people involved. Qualitative research methodologies are designed to tap into those. After all, neuroscience research shows that 90-95% of all our decisions are emotional, not rational.
