Exit Interviews - An Amicable Good-bye
An Article by, Claire Pressman -B.A. - CHRP

When an employee leaves an organization voluntarily, they are typically given an exit interview. It is usually a series of questions that asks the employee how their jobs could have been better and what could have been done to make them stay. These questions are either given in a survey form, asked in an interview by either a Human Resources representative or an outside consultant. The information is taken back and analyzed.

Exit interviews should be taken seriously. It is a prime way to gather valuable information. We can find out if there is a disproportionate amount of people leaving from one particular department. Is there something the organization can do to minimize turnover? Is the employee leaving with valuable information? If so, it enables an avenue to transfer the knowledge to another employee.

Exit interviews not only gather information but serves as a goodwill gesture. From the departing employees’ perspective, an exit interview is a chance to clear the air, get whatever they want off of their chests and leave on a positive note. The exit interview demonstrates that they were valued as employees.

Performance Appraisals
An Article by: Dinah Bailey, HR ByDESIGN

Ever wonder why some employees strive to do their best while others lack motivation and are just there to receive a paycheque?

This is a challenge all companies face and there are solutions, but correcting poor performance requires effort by both employees and management.

There are many reasons why employees don't reach their potential such as:

Don’t possess the right skill set
Lack of training and/or coaching
Not having goals and expectations clearly communicated
Lack of opportunities for advancement
Don’t understand how their actions make a contribution to the company's goals
Lack of authority needed to be effective at their job
Having to contend with poor working conditions
