Employee Exit Interview Form

Learn why people leave your firm — reasons, highlights and what to improve — so you can hold on to your best talent.

Description

An employee exit interview form captures the frank feedback departing staff will share when they no longer have anything to lose. For a firm whose value walks out the door with its people, understanding why someone is leaving — and what would have made them stay — is some of the most useful intelligence you can gather.

It records the employee’s full name and work email, their last working day, and their reason for leaving with room to specify. What they liked most, what could be improved, their overall satisfaction and whether they’d recommend the firm turn a departure into honest, structured feedback.

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

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 leavers complete to explain why they’re moving on and how the job could be better. It captures their reason, satisfaction and suggestions, giving you honest feedback to improve retention — the candid kind people rarely offer while still on the payroll.

What does the form capture?

The employee’s full name and work email, their last working day, and their reason for leaving with room to specify. What they liked most, what could be improved, overall satisfaction and whether they’d recommend the firm complete the record.

When should it be completed?

In an employee’s final days, once they can speak openly. Capturing it before they leave secures the feedback while it’s specific and honest, rather than losing their perspective — and the chance to learn from it — the moment they’re gone.

Who is this form for?

HR teams and firm leaders who want to understand and cut staff turnover, and the employees departing. It suits any organization that treats every exit as a lesson and wants that feedback captured consistently rather than in a rushed, unrecorded chat.

Why ask leavers what could be improved?

Departing employees name the problems current staff stay quiet about — a manager, workload, pay, or lack of growth. Gathering it across exits reveals the patterns quietly costing you good people, so you can address the real causes before more of your talent follows them out.

Is this form free to use?

Yes — it’s free. Create a Fun Forms account, customize the reasons and fields to match your firm, 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.
