Exit Interview Format
The exit of an employee is usually eventful in any organisation. The time when an employee has resigned and is in the process of handing over tasks and responsibilities to another can be emotionally charged and loaded for both the employee and the manager.
Nonetheless, conducting exit interviews before the last working date and using the information/feedback constructively can help an organisation bring about positive changes.
For exit interviews to be effective, a genuine desire to understand the organisation from the exiting employee’s perspective is critical. Additionally, confidentiality, trust and openness are the basic foundations of this process.
This tool is a format to capture information as a part of the exit process objectively. Information gathered during an exit interview should typically be shared on an ‘as-is basis and only with the top management or leadership team. Inputs from exit interviews can be used to review employee policies, recruitment, performance management and reward recognition mechanisms among many other things.
