In times of uncertainty and insecurity – like during a global pandemic – people behave conservatively and stay put. But as things normalize, we can expect some employees to head for the exits.
Organizations that haven’t prioritized employee engagement may have more challenges than those that have, and while it is never too late to start, a more rapid and targeted approach may be in order. For those that have prioritized engagement, nobody is immune or should ignore this potential risk to their organization.
To understand what will work for your organization and your employees, you need to ask them! WorkTango recommends a mass, rapid, stay interview or survey and we’re providing the template. Below is an employee survey template to understand why employees stay at their organization. You can find related survey templates here.

2. I feel recognized for my efforts.
3. I receive valuable feedback to improve in my role.
4. What do you like most about your job? (Open Ended)
5. If you were CEO and could make one change in the company, what would that change be, and why? (Open Ended)
