Why these questions

One exit interview is an anecdote. Send this to everyone who left over a quarter and you get a pattern, which is the thing you can actually act on. A departing employee usually still needs a reference, so the HR conversation gets the diplomatic answer and this gets the real one. Tenure at exit sits alongside department as a cohort, so "we lose people at eighteen months" shows up as a shape in the data rather than a hunch, and the reasons are closed options so no single leaver can be picked out of their own answer.

Results unlock at 3 responses

Nobody sees any answers to this poll, you included, until 3 people have responded. Below that, an individual answer could be traced back to the person who wrote it, so the results stay sealed. Worth knowing before you send it to a team of two.
