Exit survey questionnaire

An exit survey, the written form of an exit interview, asks people who are leaving why they go and what would have kept them. Answers are often more candid than in a face-to-face conversation, especially when they are anonymous.

This questionnaire has 16 questions and takes about 4 minutes: manager, growth, pay, workload and culture, the departure itself, a recommendation score (eNPS) and two open questions. Because few people leave at once, collect answers over a quarter and read them without a breakdown.

When to use it

For people who are leaving; collect answers over a quarter and read them without a breakdown, as numbers are small.

What it measures

The questions are grouped into 7 dimensions. The results dashboard shows a score for each of them.

  • My manager
  • Growth
  • Pay
  • Workload
  • Culture
  • My departure
  • Recommendation score (eNPS)

Original Y2Y questions. Practical survey questions written by Y2Y for organisations. They are not a psychometric or clinical test.

Anonymity

Answers are anonymous. Nobody, including the company, sees an individual response: results appear only for groups, and only once at least 5 people have answered. A breakdown (for example by department or site) appears only for groups that reach 5 answers on their own.

Run it with your team
