Employee Exit Interview Form

Capture honest feedback when employees leave — why they’re going and what to improve — to reduce turnover over time.

Description

An employee exit interview form captures the candid feedback people only give on their way out. When someone leaves, they’ll often tell you what they’d never say while employed — why they’re really going, what worked and what drove them away — and that honesty is one of the most valuable tools you have for reducing turnover.

It records the employee’s name, email and last working day, their reason for leaving with room to specify, and what they liked most and what could have been improved. Whether they’d recommend you as an employer, plus a signature, rounds out a documented exit you can learn from.

Customize the reasons and fields to match your organization, restyle it in your brand colors, and embed it on your intranet so exit feedback is captured consistently.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Employee Exit Interview Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What is an employee exit interview form?

It’s a form departing employees complete to share why they’re leaving and how the job could be better. It captures their reason, what they valued and what to improve, giving HR honest feedback to reduce turnover — the kind people rarely offer while still employed.

What does the form capture?

The employee’s name, email and last working day, their reason for leaving with room to specify, and what they liked most and what could have been improved. Whether they’d recommend you as an employer and a signature complete the record.

When should it be completed?

In an employee’s final days, once they’ve decided to leave and can speak freely. Capturing it before they walk out the door secures the feedback while it’s honest and specific, rather than losing their insight the moment their access is switched off.

Who is this form for?

HR teams and managers who want to understand and reduce turnover, and the employees moving on. It suits any organization that treats every departure as a chance to learn, and wants exit feedback captured consistently rather than in an awkward, unrecorded chat.

Why ask departing employees for feedback?

People leaving have nothing to lose by being honest, so they surface the real reasons — a manager, pay, culture, growth — that current staff won’t voice. Spotting patterns across exits tells you what’s quietly driving good people out, so you can fix it before more follow.

Is this form free to use?

Yes — it’s free. Create a Fun Forms account, customize the reasons and fields to match your organization, restyle it to your brand, and embed it on your intranet with no coding. Exit feedback then collects in one place, ready to learn from.
