Hey there! Let's talk about exit interviews – those chats that some bosses seem kinda nervous about. But guess what? These little sit-downs can actually do wonders for keeping employees happy and sticking around.
So, the deal with exit interviews is pretty cool. When someone's ready to leave the company, we sit down with them and have a friendly chat. No biggie! It's a chance for HR folks to get the inside scoop on why they're leaving. And believe me, that inside scoop is pure gold.
The beauty of it is that we learn what's going well and what's not-so-great in our workplace. By hearing what needs fixing and what keeps employees grinning, we can make this joint even better. It's like a secret recipe for making our peeps happier.
Oh, by the way, don't worry about folks holding back. We want them to spill the beans! That's why we create a cozy space where they feel comfy sharing their honest thoughts. No judgments here – just good ol' feedback.

1 年Nice one Cassie Sellars but what hapoens when this feedback needs to be shared with managers who don’t want to hear the feedback and are very defensive! Best feedback is shared before the employee leaves. It can make it better for those in the team or the replacement but it’s a shame that talent walks out the door and we hear the feedback on their departure. Typically departing employees don’t feel brave to be open and honest with their managers so it’s then the job of HR to be the bearer of ‘constructive’ feedback which can go one of two ways..
