Ask departing employees the questions that reveal real reasons to leave — trigger, manager, growth, pay, workload — in a structured form you can aggregate.
Quick answer
Leavers mostly say 'everything was fine' — separate trigger, push and pull factors with ratings and open questions, and multiple exits aggregate into the real pattern of why people go.
People rarely leave over one thing, and exit chats that stay polite reveal nothing useful. This form walks departing employees through the real dimensions — the trigger that started the search, the pull of the new role, manager, growth, pay, workload — mixing ratings with open answers that aggregate across exits into an honest turnover picture.
