What it means
An exit interview is a conversation with a departing employee about their experience and reasons for leaving.
Why it matters
It is the cheapest source of information about culture and management, and it is routinely collected and filed.
What it looks like in practice
Conduct it by someone other than the line manager, and look for patterns across leavers rather than acting on one.\n\nStay interviews — asking people who are not leaving what would make them — are more useful and almost nobody does them.
What to watch out for
Honest answers are rare on the way out. Anonymous aggregated data and stay interviews are better sources.
