Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

People leave your company, and you still do not know the real reasons why. Here are 313 tools to find out and act: 212 ready-to-use question lists, templates, procedures and checklists, 68 models and methods, 16 services shown on screen and 17 working files.

Open a lecture, take the exit interview script, and use it in your next exit interview.

Why exit interviews change nothing

Questions are generic, answers are polite, results stay in a folder, turnover is not linked to causes, and nobody acts until the next resignation.

What changes after this course

Exit interviews bring honest answers, results feed a turnover dashboard, causes are linked to action, and retention improves where people were leaving.

Who is teaching

I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.

In 2006 at Alfa-Bank I had a very basic exit questionnaire and prepared reports from it. I asked whether I could improve it, studied the reasons people gave, rebuilt the questionnaire and about two years later prepared the analytics. The bank president invited me to present it. For a simple recruiter it felt like meeting the president of the country. Exit data gets attention when it explains why people leave.
