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.

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

Periodically review and update the survey to ensure it reflects current offboarding practices.
