When to launch

When to conduct this survey

An employee has handed in their resignation. You want to gather honest and respectful feedback to understand the true reasons for leaving and find out what could have been done differently. This template will help you preserve good relationships and get data to reduce future turnover.

What the survey shows

The survey breaks the topic down into dimensions — for each you can see what works and where growth points are hidden.

The decision to leave

What was decisive in leaving: the main factor, accumulation of causes, external pull, and an acute trigger.

Work experience

Which elements of the work experience retained the employee or made leaving more likely.

Connection after leaving

Whether trust, recommendation, and the conditions for an alumni or boomerang connection are preserved.

How it works

Example questions

Each question is a scale rating and an open-ended clarification: a person doesn’t just assign a score, but explains their answer in their own words.

  • In my decision to leave, the decisive factors were related to my experience working at the company.

    Disagree Agree

    follow-up question

    What was the main factor in your decision, if it was not related to your experience working at the company?

  • My decision to leave built up gradually, rather than arising from a single circumstance at the last moment.

    Disagree Agree

    follow-up question

    What was the circumstance or event after which the decision came about quickly?

  • A strong external opportunity or personal circumstances were an important part of my decision to leave.

    Disagree Agree

    follow-up question

    If external circumstances had almost no influence, what mattered more in your decision to leave?

Open clarifications are part of the cycle methodology: Behind every score, live context remains; from it, AI extracts reasons, not just averages.

Output

What kind of report you’ll get

The report will group the responses of departing employees: what was the main reason for leaving, how they rate their overall work experience at the company, and how willing they are to recommend you or stay in touch. You will see the systemic issues that cause people to leave.

Not a single score, but a condition map and discovered growth points — on anonymized summaries. AI prepares options, the decision and responsibility remain with people. Next — to cycle steps.
