What is a stay interview form?

A stay interview form is a valuable tool designed to understand and address the factors that influence employees to remain with the organisation. By using this form, managers can gather insights into employee satisfaction, engagement, and any potential concerns that might lead to turnover.

This proactive approach helps in identifying areas for improvement and enhancing retention strategies.

Conducting stay interviews with the help of this form allows organisations to demonstrate their commitment to employee well-being and development. The information collected can be used to create a more supportive and motivating work environment, ultimately fostering long-term employee loyalty and organisational success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this in my small business?

Yes. This template has been designed for organisations of all sizes, including small businesses, charities and growing employers. It follows UK employment law best practice and can be adapted to suit your organisation.

Is it compliant with 2026 UK employment law?

Our templates are developed with UK employment legislation, Acas guidance and HR best practice in mind and are reviewed and updated as relevant requirements change. However, every employment situation is different, so the template should be adapted to the circumstances and checked against the employee's contract and your organisation's procedures before use.

Can I customise it for my organisation?

Yes, we highlight the areas of the document that you need to update with your own details, and where you need to make decisions to suit your situation. This saves you time and ensures that you meet best practice.

Do I get instant access to it?

Yes. Once purchased, you'll be able to download it instantly. Templates are provided in editable format (such as .doc or .xls) so you can customise them easily, and in PDF format for easy sharing.

What if I need more help, not just this template?

If you're looking for broader support, we also offer toolkits and library bundles that include the Stay interview form template, along with other HR templates and policies for fully managing your situation. These may be more cost-effective if you need deeper advice.

Why should I use this Stay interview form template, and not AI to generate it?

AI can produce a document quickly, but effective HR documentation needs to be more than well-written words. It needs to reflect relevant UK employment law, HR best practice, practical considerations and the circumstances in which it will be used. These resources have been professionally developed around that wider HR context, drawing on extensive practical experience, rather than simply generating a generic document from a prompt.

It made sense for our team when a quick solution was needed

david hughes • 11 Sep 2026

The completed record was much clearer than the notes we had been keeping previously. We found it particularly useful when several people needed to complete the same process. The fields were straightforward and did not need much explanation.

Glad we had Stay interview form ready

Hannah • 28 Jan 2026

We only made minor changes before putting it into use. The form helped different managers approach the process in a more consistent way.

It gave us a clearer route through the process for a small HR function

HANNAH THOMAS • 25 Jul 2025

The amount of detail felt proportionate to the task. We liked being able to work through the sections in a logical order. The prompts helped us capture the information we actually needed.

It helped us avoid overthinking things when the detail mattered

joanne davis • 17 Apr 2025

The layout made the form quick for managers to complete without losing useful detail. The form gave us consistency without making the process feel overly formal. It gave us a cleaner record of what had been discussed or checked.

A good addition to the folder when the issue came up

Robert King • 03 Apr 2025

The structure helped prevent the usual gaps in information. Having the prompts already thought through saved a fair amount of fiddling around. It was easy to tailor without turning into a completely different document.

It made the next step clearer

Charlotte • 08 Mar 2025

We only made minor changes to the Stay interview form before using it. It fitted well with the records we already keep.
