Exit Interviews - InnerView Interviews Meets Growing Need for Information For years, employers have wondered why valued employees left to take jobs elsewhere. Emotionally, managers felt hurt that people deserted them, preferring some other leader instead of them. Logically, good leaders wanted answers. Why are the people we want to stay making decisions to end their employment with us? Where did we go wrong? Who can we blame? How can we prevent this voluntary employee turnover? The solution was disarmingly simple: Interview departing workers as they leave, asking them why they're walking. In many cases, corporate managers--not necessarily human resources professionals--deemed that it would be good to study reasons for departure to fix the problems so people would stay. Exit interviews were conducted in numerous organizations, usually by someone in the human resource department. The process was usually routine without much depth or a serious view into the reasons behind departures. Seeking to streamline the process, employers---and even the contractors they hired to study attrition---increasingly utilized on-line questionnaires. Opportunities for depth, reality, human communication, and expansion of answers evaporated. The check-off system did not produce sufficient actionable information for employers. Something better was needed. Introducing InnerView Interviews To provide employers with the vital input they need to understand---and reduce---costly employee turnover, The Herman Group is please to introduce InnerView Interviews. Through this service, we will conduct exit interviews to support current and future clients. A few of the advantages of using InnerView Interviews: Management and non-management employees are interviewed by telephone. No Internet yes/no forms or questionnaires. Personal communication that is comfortable for the interviewee will assure a human touch and the opportunity to be well-represented. All interviews are conducted by certified human resource professionals. Every conversation with your former employees---and with you---will be conducted by a Professional in Human Resources (PHR) or Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR). No telemarketers, no interns. You benefit from the services of recognized professionals who truly understand what information is important for you…and how to uncover it. Behavioral interviewing techniques are used. This unique approach---PHR and SPHR callers using behavioral interviewing---will draw out more insight for you. Instead of just some shallow responses, we will produce in-depth reports to give you more to work with in your internal problem-solving. Fast turnaround is assured. Departing employees will be interviewed closer to the time they left. This rapid response will enable you to gather much richer input while memories are still fresh.
