Exit Interview Survey Template
Exit interview template basics
Employee attrition is a natural part of running an organization, but it also provides a unique opportunity to gather honest feedback. When you integrate an exit interview template into your offboarding process, you gain direct insight into the employee experience.
Using a feedback management platform to automate these surveys allows your HR team to collect data in hours, not months.
How exit interview surveys drive retention
The insights gathered from exiting employees help you identify specific pain points and improve company culture. By using the SurveyMonkey exit interview template, you can answer critical questions regarding:
- Compensation and benefits: Determine if employees felt their pay was competitive.
- Management quality: Evaluate the effectiveness of supervisor relationships.
- Role alignment: Assess how well work responsibilities matched employee skills.
- Workplace stress: Identify how often staff felt overwhelmed during a typical workweek.
Key questions for your exit interview template
A robust survey should include specific, open-ended questions to encourage candid responses. Use these questions to uncover why employees leave:
- What is your primary reason for leaving your current position?
- What aspects of your job did you find most and least rewarding?
- Did you feel recognized for your contributions to the organization?
- How would you describe the corporate culture at our company?
- What improvements would you recommend for this role in the future?
