Employee exit surveys are a valuable tool for organizations to understand why employees are leaving and identify areas where they can improve their employee experience and retention.
What is an Employee Exit Survey?
Exit surveys are similar to engagement surveys, but all questions are asked in past tense. The purpose of the survey is to determine reasons for exiting employees leaving the organization. This is done by asking general questions about their experience and by asking exiting employees why they are leaving.
While exit interviews offer valuable insights, exit surveys are a strong complement to the process by providing quantitative comparison data. This information be used to compare the reasons why employees are leaving from different departments, job levels, or locations.
Because employees may feel more comfortable being honest in writing, they tend to offer the “real reasons” they are leaving in surveys.
Why Employee Exit Surveys Are Important
Exit surveys typically ask questions about the employee’s reasons for leaving, their satisfaction with their job, and their suggestions for improvement. The answers to these questions can provide valuable insights into the factors that are driving employee turnover.
For example, if a large number of employees are leaving because of a lack of advancement opportunities, the organization can take steps to create more opportunities for career growth. Or, if a number of employees are leaving because of a bad relationship with their boss, the organization can provide training on conflict resolution or mediation.
Exit surveys give organizations employee life cycle data about their employees’ experiences over time. They can use this data to improve the employee experience for current and future employees.
