Improving Retention through Exit Data: HR AI Prompts
An exit interview is your best source of truth about your company culture. But if the invitation feels like a 'formality' or a 'trap,' the employee will give generic answers. This template treats their feedback as a *valuable gift*, framing it as a way to help the team they are leaving behind.
