Talent Development and Retention Questions

Covers designing and executing strategies to attract, develop, and keep high performing employees. Core areas include mentoring and coaching programs, identifying high potential talent, building clear career ladders and promotion criteria, succession planning, and creating structured career path and development opportunities. Also includes retention strategy such as diagnosing root causes of turnover using exit interviews, stay interviews, and engagement surveys; designing interventions across compensation and benefits, manager coaching, role design, learning and development, and culture; measuring retention and turnover metrics and return on investment for programs; and making defensible decisions about when to invest in keeping an employee versus when to allow a transition. Interview assessments may probe concrete examples of mentoring, creating promotion frameworks, designing development programs, diagnosing and fixing retention problems, and influencing compensation or organizational changes to improve retention.
