Most of the employees leaving will not want to burn bridges so they may not be as upfront about the real reasons why they are leaving. However, if you gather information about their next endeavor that usually gives some good information about what other companies are doing. If you have a lot of people leaving, then you should be able to gather some data and analyze it to see what improvements that need to be made to keep up with the other businesses out there.

I’d left the role solely because of my awful manager. Who did awful manager report to? The chief exec.

If there was an exit interview equivalent to the court scenario of speaking only to confirm name and address, this was it.

The ex-manager was bullying and vindictive, and our field was small. I was never going to list them as a reference, but in no way did I want to give them any ammo to retaliate by badmouthing me at my old workplace, or to people in the industry. At least this way, there was minimum drama.

It’s crucial to have a balance in exit interviews – ones where you can get at least some of the information you need, while still letting the employee leave in a civil manner. Thanks for sharing your insight on this!
