In my previous 2 employment, there are no such thing called exit interview. When you are leaving, they’ll say … “good! see you!” and out you go.
The current company that I am attached to have thing called exit interview. Hence, not knowing what the meaning of it as well as the objective of such procedure, I looked up upon both wikipedia and about.com for some answers.
Here’s what I have found:-
An exit interview is typically a meeting between at least one representative from a company’s human resources (HR) department and a departing employee. (The departing employee usually has voluntarily resigned vs. getting laid off or fired.) The HR rep might ask the employee questions while taking notes, ask the employee to complete a questionnaire, or both.
and from the wiki
An exit interview is an interview conducted by an employer of a departing employee. They are generally conducted by a relatively neutral party, such as a human resources staff member, so that the employee will be more inclined to be candid, as opposed to worrying about burning bridges. The purpose of an exit interview is usually to gather data for improving working conditions and retaining employees. Common questions asked in exit interviews are, “What are your primary reasons for leaving,” “What did you find most satisfying about your job,” “What did you find most frustrating about your job,” “Were there any company policies or procedures that made your work more difficult,” etc. Many career advisers recommend treating an exit interview like a hiring interview, in that criticism of the past employer should be limited to statements about the company as a whole, rather than specific individuals.
In my case, most companies should practice additional procedure and follow up activities like below:-
