This study examines the relationship between stay interviews and staff retention amongst direct support professionals (DSPs). This study determines the effectiveness of stay interviews of 132 direct care staff members across the Woods System of Care (WSoC). Stay interviews are conducted throughout the first six months of employment to determine staff satisfaction and best efforts are made to improve satisfaction if staff require additional support, this study only includes results of staff members who have surpassed their 3 months of employment. Results determine that there is a statistically significant relationship between employee termination status and stay interviews, the relationship between termination status and zero stay interviews is only moderate, but still something that can have an impact, as getting no stay interview decreases the likelihood of employees still being employed.
