Advice for Conducting Exit Interviews

Every process that your business implements and practices is integral to your company’s success. Exit interviews, when conducted well, can provide a wealth of information about projects or an employee’s particular position that will make a transition seamless and cause a smaller loss of time and resources. Some advice for conducting good exit interviews is:

• Conduct them in person whenever possible
• Provide surveys, especially with open-ended questions, if face-to-face is not possible
• Prepare focused questions, especially if trying to get vital knowledge from the employee
• Provide a relaxed and calm environment
• Do not pressure the employee or engage in an argument. Rather, just listen to their point of view and thoughts to see what you can use in the future.

Although each exit interview will provide a unique set of circumstances and group of people, these general tips can help streamline your preparation and provide a basic set of guiding principles.
