Exit interviews may not enable you to keep some employees, but they can help you attract good workers and keep them over time. So make sure your exit interviews aren’t just perfunctory but actually help you mine for useful information. Toward that end, consider these questions as part of your exit conversation:
- Why are you leaving our company?
- What ideas do you wish you could have implemented during your time here?
- What do you think is the most important skill the person taking over your job will need?
- Do you feel like you had the support you needed to succeed here?
- What will your salary and benefits be like in your new position?
- What was your experience of our company culture?
- What advice would you give a new employee here?
