• Exit interviews with those leaving the company are an opportunity for organizational improvement.

When an employee terminates employment, the person may have valuable information about improvement opportunities in an organization. One way to capture this information is to conduct exit interviews.

Exit interviews are conducted with those leaving the company or a particular department or area to gather information on such things as organizational management that may not always be accessible or gathered during employment tenure.

Perhaps the employee simply moved to a better opportunity, or is following a spouse who was offered a great opportunity. Or perhaps the employee was unhappy with the working conditions at the company. A company will not know unless it asks.
