Stay interviews are easy, affordable and make employees feel like they're contributing to the success of their organizations in more ways than just showing up to work every day.

If you're considering adopting the stay interview as part of your retention strategy, consider the following questions courtesy of workforce.com:

• What about your job makes you jump out of bed in the morning?
• What makes you hit the snooze button?
• If you were to win the lottery and resign, what would you miss the most?
• What is one thing that, if changed in your current role, would make you consider moving on?
• If you had a magic wand, what would be the one thing you would change about your department?
• If you had to go back to a position in your past and stay for an extended period of time, which one would it be and why?
• What makes for a great day?
• What can we do to make your job more satisfying?
• What can we do to support your career goals?
• Do you get enough recognition?
• What will keep you here? What might entice you away?
