Exit Interviews

The form we have for exit interviews needs to be updated. In addition to recording in it the dates of hiring and departing we try to evaluate things such as the salary, benefits and working conditions of the ex employee on an excellent-good-average-poor scale. Also, we record whether the resignation was voluntary or involuntary, of course the name and number of the employee as well as the reason for his/her leaving. We also ask about what was good in the place and what will the employee miss here when he/she leaves.

A question is also present to determine whether adequate training was received and how it may be enhanced. The form is finally signed by both the interviewee and the interviewer and the date of the interview is recorded on the form.

At the end of each month, an exit interview report is made summarizing the number of people who left from each department and the reasons for their departure.

Exit interviews are fine but the form we are using right now can be enhanced a lot. Perhaps I ought to read more about exit interviews and attempt some enhancements to the exit interview form currently in use.
