The importance of conducting an exit interview

Do you wish you knew why employees are choosing to leave your company or organization? Exit interviews are just the thing for that! They are good ways to discover what your organization was doing good and what it could improve at. When exit interviews are done correctly, they can help ending the employment on good terms for both parties.

A complimentary face-to-face or telephone approach after a written survey is also possible, it enables a deeper conversation and the possibility to ask more probing questions if not everything was clear in the survey. Also the employees will appreciate the gesture.
