Exit interview form template (free)

What’s inside the Exit Interview.

Real content in every part, ready to rewrite with your own.

1Welcome: who reads the answers, that managers see only group totals, that nothing affects the settlement or relieving letter, and about six minutes, with a photo
2About your time here: department (front office, housekeeping, F&B service, kitchen, spa and wellness, sales and events, finance, engineering and maintenance, head office) and length of service
3Why you’re leaving: the main reason (pay, growth, manager, hours and workload, relocation or family, studies or a career change, something else), then which others played a part
4Your time here: pay and benefits, workload and hours, training and growth, recognition, and your team, each rated 1 to 5 stars on its own screen
5Your manager: how well they supported you, 1 to 5 stars, with a photo, and what they could have done differently, shown for three stars or fewer
6Looking ahead: what would have kept you (optional), whether you’d come back (yes, maybe for the right role, no), how likely you are to recommend Aranya as a place to work, 0 to 10, and anything else
7Thank-you: what happens to the answers, the relieving letter and settlement as usual, and the alumni address, with a photo

When to use it.

Exit Interview is a survey for people leaving, one question per screen and about six minutes long, shown here for a hotel group. It opens by saying who reads the answers, that managers see only group totals and that nothing affects the final settlement. Leavers give their department and length of service, the main reason they’re leaving and any others, then rate pay, workload, growth, recognition and their team. Their manager gets a rating of their own, with a follow-up for low scores, before what would have kept them, whether they’d return and a 0 to 10 recommend score.
