Exit Interview Form

Why are we conducting an exit interview and collecting exit interview data?

• To ascertain the reason why the employee is leaving, and in case of a voluntary termination, try to retain desirable employees whenever possible. (An employee may be leaving for a job that pays more money, but she or he may have been prompted to look for position for an entirely different reason).

• To help improve the working environment in all University departments.

• To retain the goodwill of the employee, the employee’s family, and the employee’s friends toward the university.

• Determine if there is a way to salvage the employment relationship.

What will the data be used for?

• To reduce turnover and increase employee satisfaction at UMD

• To develop practices which would improve on current working conditions.

• To identify any legal problems.

• To identify and address any patterns of concerns.
