WSJ Your Money Briefing · Exit Interviews: How Open Should You Be? · 6 Aug 2021 podcast

And the idea is that because the employee is leaving, they might be able to speak a little bit more honestly about their experience that they had during their time there. matched

But it's a tough balance and employees, a lot of them question just how honest they should be. matched

Yeah, for employees, it can be an opportunity for them to get certain things off their chest. matched

And it is a forum where they can provide the employer with some information in the hopes that they can make improvements. matched

Absolutely. matched

It's really tough to strike a balance between being honest and not wanting to burn a bridge. matched

So one expert I spoke to said you can be as honest as you want. matched

You just have to be professional. matched

It can be tough because a lot of employees are looking for job recommendations down the line or they might end up working with some of the professionals who they worked with at their current company. matched

So they want to find a way to be as constructive as possible while also being direct and respectful. matched

Experts say you should think about the main points that you want to convey during your time there. matched

It shouldn't be a one-way venting session where you're explaining all of your frustrations. matched

But in advance, you might think about your experiences and draw them into themes. matched

And if you are nervous about giving some of this feedback, try to frame it in a constructive way. matched

So for example, one expert suggested that you might frame your feedback by showing that you care about the place that you're leaving, which is why you're being honest. matched

So you can say something such as, I'm bringing this up because I care about the company and the coworkers that I'm leaving and hope that you might be able to make some improvements. matched

It can be tough for an HR department to make matched

accurate and specific recommendations if employees aren't forthcoming about why they were leaving. matched

So for example, if half a dozen employees left because of the same circumstance or even the same person, but only one of them was honest about why, it can be tough for the HR department to make an accurate recommendation for change to happen within the organization. matched

So HR experts say workers are not obligated to answer questions about where they are going to work or how much they're going to make at a new job during an exit interview. matched
