Exit Interview

An exit interview is an interview conducted by an employer of a departing employee.

The purpose of an exit interview is to gather employees' feedback on the work

experience in order to improve working conditions and employee retention. Other

employer uses for exit interviews include improving work productivity, providing an early

warning about sexual harassment, workplace violence and discrimination issues, and

measuring the success of diversity initiatives or training programs. This document

provides common questions including reasons for leaving and job satisfaction, but this

form can easily be customized to add or alter any questions an employer would like to

ask a departing employee.
