Quick Exit Survey

Not every departure requires a lengthy exit interview. This Quick Exit Survey captures the most critical information in under 2 minutes - the primary reason for leaving, overall experience rating, and one key suggestion for improvement. Ideal for high-volume situations, contractors, or when employees prefer a simpler process.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use the Quick Exit Survey vs. Full Exit Interview?

Use this quick version for contractors, short-term employees, high-volume departures, or when employees explicitly request a shorter format. Use the full exit interview for key employees, unusual circumstances, or when you want deeper insights.

Should exit surveys be anonymous?

Offering anonymous options typically increases honesty. This template includes an optional contact checkbox - employees can choose whether to be contactable for follow-up discussions.

How soon after departure should I send the survey?

Ideally on the last day or within 48 hours of departure. Responses become less accurate over time as emotions settle and memories fade.

What's the most important metric to track?

Track patterns in 'Primary Reason for Leaving' across departures. If you see clusters around specific issues (management, compensation, growth), prioritize addressing those areas.

Can departing employees skip questions?

The template requires only the primary reason and overall rating. Additional feedback is optional, respecting employees' time while ensuring minimum viable data.
