Why they leave, what to change

Exit interview, written instead of spoken

The questionnaire to send before the conversation: the main reason, what would have kept them, what works and how likely they'd recommend the company.

When to use it

People leaving say out loud what they think is sayable, and a bit more in writing. It doesn't replace the conversation: it prepares it, because whoever reads the answers first already knows the real questions.

Three things that help

  • Send it before the conversation, not after: afterwards it becomes paperwork and gets half-answered.
  • «What could we have done to keep you» is the only question that produces something actionable: you usually already know the reason.
  • Read the results in aggregate every six months, not one at a time: one person is an anecdote, ten are data.
