Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah checks her Slack at midnight, signals flashing red
Third week running, burnout brewing, team morale has fled
Track the metrics that matter most, engagement tells the tale
One-on-ones reveal the stress before your talent sets sail

[Chorus]
S-T-A-Y interviews unlock the truth
What keeps them here, what makes them move
R-E-T-A-I-N the ones who shine
Career ladders by design
Don't let regrettable attrition steal your crew
Engagement signals guide you through

[Verse 2]
Marcus coded brilliance but his growth has hit a wall
Skip-level meetings surface dreams that managers let fall
Plot trajectories, map their goals, investment pays dividends
When top performers feel supported, loyalty never ends

[Chorus]
S-T-A-Y interviews unlock the truth
What keeps them here, what makes them move
R-E-T-A-I-N the ones who shine
Career ladders by design
Don't let regrettable attrition steal your crew
Engagement signals guide you through

[Bridge]
Exit interviews come too late
Stay interviews seal their fate
Ask them now what keeps them keen
Before they're browsing LinkedIn screens

[Verse 3]
Weekly pulse surveys and feedback loops that actually close
Mentorship programs, conference funds, the investment really shows
When A-players pack their bags, the damage multiplies fast
Build retention architecture that's designed to last

[Chorus]
S-T-A-Y interviews unlock the truth
What keeps them here, what makes them move
R-E-T-A-I-N the ones who shine
Career ladders by design
Don't let regrettable attrition steal your crew
Engagement signals guide you through

[Outro]
Track, interview, grow, retain
Your team's success, your biggest gain
