HR Policies: 6.13.2
Exit Interview
Subject: Operating Practices
Number: 6.13.2
Issued: 1/1/89
Revised: 2/28/03, 11/04/05
Purpose
To make available a mechanism for regular staff who voluntarily leave
the employ of the university an opportunity to provide information pertaining
to their work experiences and the factors that contributed to their departing.
Data from exit interviews may be used to help improve human resource management
practices, e.g. recruiting, orientation, performance management, training,
working conditions, etc. Additionally, the exit interview provides the
university with information that may show trends in voluntary terminations
and help guide efforts to improve areas that may be leading to turnover.
Procedure
As soon as practical, following notice of resignation, and prior to the
staff member's departure, the college/unit human resource representative
will email the staff member the url, providing them access to the on line
exit interview survey. For departing staff that do not typically use or
have access to a computer, the college/unit human resource representative
will send them a hard copy of the survey. Staff who wish to talk directly
with someone in the central Office of Human Resources should contact Staff
and Labor Relations at 607-255-4652 or at labor-l@cornell.edu
(LABOR-L) for an appointment.
The on-line survey may be found at http://www.ohr.cornell.edu/survey/exit/.
