Employee Offboarding Survey

Employee Offboarding Survey

Employee departures can be challenging, but they also present an opportunity to gather valuable insights that support organisational improvement. An effective offboarding survey helps you understand why employees leave, capture their overall experience, and identify areas for growth.

The Teamgage offboarding survey is designed to provide actionable insights that help strengthen retention, improve employee experience, and inform future decisions.

Objectives of Offboarding Surveys

  1. Understand Reasons for Leaving
    Identify the key factors influencing an employee’s decision to leave, such as career progression, culture or compensation
  2. Evaluate Employee Experience
    Gain insight into the employee’s overall experience throughout their time with the organisation
  3. Identify Areas for Improvement
    Highlight specific opportunities to improve processes, culture and ways of working

Things to Consider

  1. Timing
    Send the survey during the employee’s final week to capture timely and relevant feedback
  2. Follow-up
    Act on feedback promptly and communicate any changes made as a result
  3. Regular Review
    Periodically review and update the survey to ensure it reflects current offboarding practices.

Sample Questions

  1. What are the main reasons for your decision to leave the company?
  2. How satisfied were you with your job role and responsibilities?
  3. How would you rate the support and leadership provided by your manager?
  4. How would you describe the overall work environment and culture?
  5. Were there sufficient opportunities for professional growth and development?
  6. Do you have any additional feedback or suggestions for improving the employee experience?
