Exit Interview Questions Template
The right exit interview questions help organizations collect information about the employees’ experiences
with the company and their reason/s for leaving. Implementing this feedback can improve the
organization’s overall business decisions, policies, and workplace culture.
● It’s best to have a neutral third party, like someone from the HR department, to hold the exit
interview since employees may not always have a great relationship with their manager.
● Employees remember their first day on the job, but they also remember their last. The exit
interview is, therefore, a big part of how leaving employees will remember you as an employer.
That’s why you need to take all feedback seriously.
