It is obvious to conduct entry interviews of the new incumbents in your organization but have you ever thought of what impression they are taking with them when leaving your organization?
This is an obvious question often leaving employees wish to raise but refrain because they for good or bad reasons, need not to ask. It is equally true that peers, seniors and employers very soon forget them and their performances in their organization.
Let us first think of why employees leave their company .Better and even very high salary, job satisfaction do not restrain them to resign. Every time when any interview board member asks the candidate why he had left the previous organization, most of the prospective employees reply-“For better opportunity”.
Is it true.Do any of the Board Member ever think how often there is truth in their employee.
My son suggested my elder son the reply which I wish mention before my esteemed readers:
“I believe in serving the organization in the best way with dignity, honesty and productivity, whether the period is short or long. Instead of working their in frustration
looking for salary hike or promotion .”
So I was just talking about the exit interview. Normally it happens that the person resigns and asks for immediate relieving, even he ignores his notice period or salary. Reason may be that he has got better salary/designation hike OR he could not find himself comfortable in his present organization. It is really painful that in the present competitive period, professionally qualified employees, get better opportunities but it is also true that the, employers fails to retain them. I am not talking about the CEO or H.O.D.s but certainly many time immediate seniors for obvious reasons(due to lack of confidence in their work/efficiency/knowledge) find themselves insecure and always afraid of their junior, when their juniors gets double promotion and becomes their senior.
This is the right time when companies in
India
should make policy of an exit interview, which should be in real sense an honest effort. This will make them comfortable and will ensure of removing weaknesses of their organization or the seniors who had forced a best employee out of the organization. By this they will also come to know so many merits and good suggestions.
*They should not think that honest fruitful and productive brain is the property of the seniors but even a junior staff or a peon may give them tips for betterment.This effort may also retain that employee who had resigned due to some frustration and if he gets remedy in way of his change of his nature of job or simply transfer from one department, or his due salary hike or promotion, which he deserves.
