What is an Exit Interview?

Exit interviews are surveys conducted on employees who are leaving an organisation. Employers conduct these discussions to understand why employees leave and what they think of the company. Exit surveys can be conducted in person, over the phone, on paper, or online and are frequently the responsibility of a company's human resources department.

They are excellent chances for businesses to obtain employee input on topics such as:

  • Job Responsibilities
  • Leadership styles
  • Process flow
  • Workplace culture
  • Team-building exercises
  • Business policies and mission
