Prevent Burnout through Leadership Stay Interviews

Greater anxiety, mental health related concerns, feelings of overwhelm leading to disengagement and burnout- these are now terms leaders are also using to express what they are feeling. Research shows that over 70% of senior executives are thinking of resigning with CEO attrition numbers inching upwards since 2020. Instead of allowing this trend to intensify you could address the risk of burnout, disengagement, #QuietQuitting or even attrition by implementing Leadership Stay Interviews.

What is a Stay Interview?

A stay interview helps to identify what is motivating an individual to stay and what might entice them to work for someone else. Typically more informal than an exit interview, when conducted by a third party the interviewee is likely to be more candid about what his/her reasons are to stay, and also what could be better. The psychological safety afforded by speaking to an objective, third party is an important reason for the introduction of these interviews. These interviews are designed to identify risk factors that could prompt burnout, disengagement or resignation.

The Bricoleur Leadership Stay Interviews are conducted by senior leaders who have experience running business units and teams and can empathise with a leader’s challenges

Leaders interviewing Leaders

The Bricoleur team who conduct the interviews comprises a professional who may have experience in digital transformation, social media or leadership coaching and a partner qualitative research expert. Qualitative research enables the use of methodologies to unearth underlying feelings and perceptions beyond just conscious responses. These may help to gauge what a leader is truly feeling. This is followed by a report with recommendations while maintaining confidentiality with the interviewee.

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.

How it Works?

Step 1

After you Book a Needs Assessment and have discussed the project with a Bricoleur team member, you need to Register on the platform.

Step 2

When you Register please share details related to your company and the person you would like to be interviewed along with some potential dates.

Step 3

Make a payment of $200 USD once you share the details of the leadership level individuals you wish for us to engage with and conduct the Leadership Stay InterviewTM. This will assign a Bricoleur Researcher to your project. A Bricoleur Researcher is a trained qualitative researcher who will execute the project and be your key point of contact. They will also book an experienced business leader from our panel of experienced business leaders to act as observer during the Leadership Stay InterviewTM. All interviews are conducted only in English currently.

Step 4

The Bricoleur Researcher will confirm the dates and send you an invoice based on the number of Leadership Stay InterviewsTM you have indicated that you would like to implement within your organisation. Each interview costs $1200 USD. For five interviews or more booked at the same time, the cost will be reduced to $1000 USD per Leadership Stay InterviewTM.

Step 5

Once the payment for the project is confirmed, Bricoleur will execute the Leadership Stay InterviewsTM. In case there is an issue with the dates, these can be co-ordinated by email with the Bricoleur Researcher leading the project.

Step 6

Once the Leadership Stay Interview/sTM have been executed, you will receive a report with the key findings from the engagement within 12 working days of the completion of the last interview. This report will include an analysis of findings and make recommendations based on observations and the conversation during the Leadership Stay InterviewTM. To maintain confidentiality for the individual, however, the transcript of the conversation will not be shared and will only be used for analysis by the Bricoleur Researcher.

Step 7

This step would only be relevant in case the organisation implements more than 5 Leadership Stay InterviewsTM at a time, where the Bricoleur Researcher will prepare a separate report with overall observations from all the interviews.
