What better way to exit this year than by talking about exit interviews! I received this great question on Instagram from @theanalysisconsult:
What exit interview questions would you recommend for small businesses to use for improvement?
I’ve done countless exit interviews over the years. They can give you really valuable information, so I’m a fan of them. I also know, from firsthand experience, it can be hard to find the time for them when you have so many other competing demands on your time. The key is to have clear objectives of what you’re trying to accomplish and establish a feasible process.
In this video, we’ll establish clear objectives and a realistic process for your exit interviews, and I’ll give you 4 questions you should ask in every exit interview, plus a bonus question when you want to retain the employee.
Here’s a sneak peek of the 4 exit interview questions you should always ask:
- What’s your experience been like working here?
- What’s your main reason for leaving?
- Would you consider working here in the future?
- Would you recommend us to others you know who are looking for employment?
If you’re a small business leader, asking these exit interview questions will help you have the culture you want and will help you hire and retain the right employees!
