Exit survey

Discover the real reasons for leaving

The offboarding interview rarely delivers the whole truth. You capture the actual reasons for leaving anonymously and comparably. This way you see not only that employees leave, but why.

Understand why people really leave, not just what they say on their way out

In the offboarding interview hardly anyone tells the whole truth. In an anonymous survey they do. Individual resignations turn into comparable data, and you spot the patterns before the next resignation lands on the table.

The questions no one asks in the interview

Why someone really leaves rarely comes up fully in the offboarding interview. Your project team puts together a questionnaire with you that covers the typical drivers of resignation, from leadership to compensation, so that none gets lost.

Employees do not resign without a reason. They just rarely say it out loud.

People rarely criticize their own manager when HR is sitting in the same room. Only the anonymous survey removes this barrier and brings you the answers that stay unspoken in a face-to-face conversation.

One resignation is a data point. Twenty are a warning signal.

Individual departures look like isolated cases. Across time and areas you recognize the pattern: whether leadership, culture or a lack of development is the actual driver.

Make the survey a fixed step in offboarding

You embed the exit survey as a fixed link in your offboarding workflow or your HR system. This way it goes out reliably with every departure, instead of getting lost in day-to-day business.

What Kultify does differently in exit surveys

Three design decisions that set exit surveys with Kultify apart from any generic survey tool.

Configurable minimum response count

Analyses only appear once the agreed minimum response count is reached. The default is 5 responses per segment; you set the value per survey together with the works council.

No profiling of individuals

We capture reasons for leaving such as leadership, development or compensation, never the behavioral patterns of individual employees. No activity scores, no profiles.

How to turn every resignation into a learning opportunity

  1. As soon as the departure is confirmed

    Send the survey

    You send the exit survey link manually or embed it firmly in your offboarding workflow, so that no departure goes unsurveyed.

  2. Survey period

    Receive honest feedback

    With the anonymous, digital survey you receive more open answers than in a face-to-face conversation.

  3. After responses come in

    Spot patterns

    You see the aggregated responses and recognize which reasons for leaving accumulate and which areas are affected.

  4. Analysis

    Derive measures

    Based on the insights, you target the biggest drivers of employee turnover specifically, instead of symptoms.

  5. Following quarters

    Track the development

    In further exit surveys you see in trend comparison how the reasons for leaving shift over time.
