Write an Exit Interview Question Set

Create a set of exit interview questions that actually uncover useful insights about why people leave, not just polite small talk.

An employee is leaving my UK business ([their role], been here [duration]). I want to conduct an exit interview that gives me genuinely useful information to improve retention.

Context: [e.g. "They're leaving for a competitor", "They're leaving for a different industry", "They were made redundant"]

Create an exit interview question set with:

**Opening (2 questions):** Ease them in  -  broad, non-threatening
**The role (3 questions):** What worked, what didn't, what they'd change
**Management and leadership (3 questions):** Honest feedback on their manager and leadership
**Culture and environment (3 questions):** What the company is really like from the inside
**The decision to leave (3 questions):** What triggered it, what could have changed it
**Looking forward (2 questions):** What advice they'd give, would they recommend us as an employer

For each question:
- Write the main question
- Include a follow-up probe (the question that gets past the polite surface answer)

Also include:
- Tips for the interviewer (how to create psychological safety so they're honest)
- A note on GDPR implications of recording or sharing exit interview data in the UK
- What to do with the findings (how to turn individual interviews into retention insights)
