Exit interviews can provide critical information that only leaving employees can provide. This is information that can reduce turnover and increase retention. With this information, it is possible to increase employee satisfaction, improve business systems, increase engagement and commitment, and maximize quality. Simply put, information is power, and exit interviews can provide strategic knowledge that you can't live without.
This webinar will give you all the tools you need to start your exit interview program or improve the one you have. It isn't rocket science but there are best practices and considerations for doing them well. Our intent is to get you up to speed as quickly and effectively as possible.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Exit interviews are sometimes viewed as a big waste of time. No one really tells the truth, everyone wants to be seen as wonderful, after all, future references may depend on what you say when you leave. Or the departing unloads on everyone and everything. The leadership, supervisor, co-workers the processes and procedures, benefits provided, no one, and nothing gets left off the complaint list. And since no one looks at the exit interview data, why do we collect it, nothing changes!
So what should we do? Do you see the information you can collect as a valuable resource you cannot operate your business without? We will make the case for Why and How to get this going in the right direction to help you meet organizational performance goals and is particularly helpful in these tight labor times when sometimes subtle differences in organizations make hiring the right people so important.
Tools will be provided to attendees including:
- A copy of the PowerPoint slide deck

- A sample Exit Interview Policy for you to personalize
- A sample Exit Questionnaire
