Frequently Asked Questions

How do you create an exit survey template to serve your organization?

There are several standard themes you’ll want to understand:
1. Uncovering opportunities related to HR – job description, salary, benefits
2. Understanding employees’ perceptions of the work itself
3. Gaining insight into managers’ leadership styles and effectiveness
4. Fostering innovation by obtaining improvement ideas for the organization
5. Creating lifelong advocates for the organization

What questions should you ask an employee who is leaving?

While the questions might differ from one organization to another, there are some main topics to build on. We’ve included some examples for each, below:
– The role (Did you feel equipped to do the job here? / How much did the job role change after you were hired? / Would you consider coming back to work in this role in the future?)
– The pay and package (What does your new position offer that convinced you to leave? / How good or bad was your benefits package? / Did you find the benefits useful?)
– The reason for leaving (Why did you consider looking for another job? / Was there a specific event or person involved with your decision to leave?)
– The team and manager (What was the team atmosphere like? / Were you comfortable talking to your manager?)
– The workplace and culture (Did you feel like an important member of the organization? / How likely are you to recommend the organization to a friend or colleague? / Do you have any other issues or comments you’d like to address?)
