What is the purpose of an exit interview?
An exit interview is a conversation with a departing employee to learn why they are leaving and to gather honest feedback about the role, the management, and the culture. Organizations use the insight to spot recurring patterns, reduce turnover, and improve the workplace for the staff who remain.
What questions should an exit interview cover?
Strong exit interviews explore the reasons for leaving, satisfaction with pay and workload, relationships with managers, and views on culture and opportunities to grow. Asking what the company could improve, and whether the person would consider returning, tends to yield the most candid and genuinely useful information.
Who conducts an exit interview and when?
An HR representative or a neutral manager usually conducts the exit interview during the employee's final days, after notice has been given. Keeping it separate from the direct supervisor and clearly assuring confidentiality encourages honest, detailed answers that leadership can realistically act on after the person departs.
