Which term describes an interview with an employee who leaves voluntarily to help managers learn about concerns, reasons for leaving, and suggestions about how the company can improve?

• A. Exit interview
• B. Feedback
• C. Facilitator
• D. Forming

Answer: (A)

The concept here is exit interviews. An exit interview is a structured conversation with a departing employee to uncover concerns, reasons for leaving, and suggestions on how the company can improve. Conducting this interview while the employee is still leaving helps capture honest, specific feedback about workplace issues—things management can address to reduce future turnover and improve retention.

This isn’t just general feedback from current staff, which would be ongoing input without the context of leaving. It also isn’t about guiding a discussion (a facilitator) or a stage in team development (forming). Those other terms don’t capture the purpose and timing of gathering insight specifically from someone who is leaving.
