Why Exit Interviews?

Exit interviews are interviews conducted for a terminating employee. Exit interviews are sources of information for the improvement of an organisation as rarely we would receive honest feedbacks from current employees who are working in the organisation.

It is important to have an exit interview with an employee in order to obtain information about how our organisation is doing and what our organisation needs to do to improve- whether it is the induction process of new staff, drawing on learning of departing employees and how to create more positive view of the employer in the eyes of the departing employees. It is also more important to know the key turn over- why are they dissatisfied with the company. Exit interviews can also help the HR in performance management, where they can receive useful data from exiting employees on how to train their existing employees.
