CERTIFIED ANCHOR™ WORKFORCE INTERVIEW FACILITATOR™

Prepare experienced HR and people management professionals to teach, facilitate, and calibrate stay and exit interviews within their organizations using the ANCHOR™ framework, shared standards, and People Practice Simulations™.

This Train-the-Trainer certification equips facilitators to lead ANCHOR™ Workforce Interview training confidently and consistently, strengthening engagement, performance insight, development planning, and follow-through across workforce conversations.

Teaching Interviews Requires More Than Asking Questions

  • Teach structured workforce interviews clearly and confidently
  • Guide realistic stay and exit interview practice using People Practice Simulations™
  • Lead productive reflection and insight-coding discussions
  • Reinforce shared standards for workforce interview quality and consistency

What Facilitators Can Expect

  • Facilitator certification in the ANCHOR™ Workforce Interview Framework
  • Guidance on teaching evidence-based stay and exit interview methods
  • Practice leading realistic interview simulations using People Practice Simulations™
  • Tools and facilitation strategies to support internal delivery at scale
