Which term refers to an interview with an employee who leaves voluntarily to help managers learn about concerns?

• A. Feedback
• B. External communication
• C. Forming
• D. Exit interview

Answer: (D)

An exit interview is the conversation held with an employee who is leaving the company. The purpose is to learn about concerns, reasons for leaving, and suggestions for improvement. This feedback helps managers address recurring issues, improve retention, and make changes to policies, culture, or processes. It is typically conducted near the end of employment, when the departure is voluntary. The other terms don’t fit because feedback is general input not specifically tied to a departure; external communication refers to sharing information outside the organization; forming is a stage in team development, not a type of interview.
