Stay & Exit Interviews

Collecting employee feedback about their experience in the company gives management a better idea of what problems need to be addressed and how to improve retention. BullseyeEngagement has digitized stay and exit interviews to allow employees to be more transparent and give higher quality responses. Doing this ensures that HR Business Partners are seen as thought leaders who put their people first and provide meaningful metrics needed by leadership to make informed strategic decisions.


Build trust and retain top talent using stay interviews


Stay interviews are critical for your company because:

  1. The employee feels valued and heard, which impacts engagement.
  2. The company and manager receive real-time feedback that can assist with:
    • making improvements in overall on-boarding processes
    • identifying any issues/concerns an individual employee shares that need to be addressed.
  3. HR can utilize metrics and other data pulled from such interviews to create reports that reflect trends, gaps, strengths, etc. This allows for a proactive approach to addressing any problem areas, and provides leadership with an important view into the beginning stages of a new employee’s employment life cycle.

Listen and learn from your employees with exit interviews

Exit interviews helps management find the cause of resignation and the departing employee feel valued and heard, which impacts his or her feelings about the company. This can then translate into communication the employee has with others after leaving.

  1. This impacts a company's reputation and brand.
  2. When departing employees (alums) feel respected and heard as they leave, they are more likely to consider returning in the future if an opportunity arises.
  3. Alums will be more likely to promote your company to other job seekers in their network if the off-boarding experience is positive.
