Love_HRchatExit interviews might not be the top of your “fun” list. They have the potential to be uncomfortable and even a bit awkward.

But the conversation about exit interviews during our most recent #HRchat was anything but awkward. The consensus seemed to be that there’s a lot to be gained from talking to a soon-to-be former employee about why they’re leaving.

HR professionals from around the world chimed in to offer their thoughts about exit interviews and how having them can demonstrate your commitment to employee satisfaction and to your company’s long-term success.

Before you go…if you missed the twitter chat, you’ll find a recap of #HRchat here.
