One of the best ways to gain insight into your employee job satisfaction is by conducting an exit interview. With your employee leaving, the exit interview is more likely to facilitate open and honest discussion on their experience of working for your practice. You can use the exit interview to assess whether you are a good employer in your employees' view. You can gain a better understanding of the positive and negative factors that contribute to an employee choosing to stay or to leave and any changes you need to make as a practice. What you learn will help you to improve the employee experience for your remaining staff which will contribute to employee retention and to attracting a higher calibre of applicants to your practice. This insight is especially important if you want to stop valued employees from leaving or to reduce high turnover of staff within your practice.
There are benefits for your employees too. For the departing employee, an exit interview provides closure on matters they may not have otherwise raised and demonstrates that you value their opinion. For your other employees it promotes goodwill by demonstrating your commitment to change employment practices for their benefit.
