Plastics Recruiter - Exit Interviews

As a plastics recruiter, I see these types of situations often:

Exit interviews can be a valuable tool for a company to use. Generally exit interviews are conducted with an employee who is leaving the company on a voluntary basis, rather than being laid off or fired. Exit interviews can be as extensive as the employer wants, keeping in mind that the employee may not desire to answer all the questions if there are a lot of them.

Exit interviews are generally conducted and the information is used to assist the Human Resources department in improving existing working conditions for current employees, and for retaining those employees. Your company can learn from the past experiences of the department employees and gain an opportunity to improve management/employment practices accordingly. Effective Employee Exit Interviews are an opportunity to diagnose and improve performance within the company. A “backdoor” reason to do an exit interview may be to find out if there is any costly litigation down the road caused by a disgruntled employee.

Employee turnover is costly and is widely recognized as a key organizational concern. Doing an exit interview will allow you to analyze the data to determine if employee satisfaction is an impact to your turnover. It will also allow you to track trends in satisfaction to measure the improvements that were made. Exit interviews can be a valuable tool that is often overlooked in employment screening, but should be considered by an employer.
