Past respondent commentary examples

“Management above supervisor can be very demeaning. There are managers that don’t speak to you. Some are not approachable and will appear bothered if you approach them. They reprimand you for talking but they will carry on 15-20 minute conversations with each other. You can hear managers using profanities, discussing other employees and problems or just flat out talking about non work related issues on daily basis.”

“Unfortunately I think that you may have taken someone who was a good subordinate and moved them into a leadership role. He has built layers between him and the staff to go through. His interpretation of company policy is skewed to what should NOT be expected. He has a small system running less than 1000 calls annually but has two supervisors, a schedule person, a uniform person, etc. There are many things missing from the service that is a state rule – he doesn’t understand that EMR is a state requirement.”

“I believe that I was a victim of an aggressive, ambitious manager who saw me as a threat to her pursuit of power. I believe that she instigated my forced “retirement”, which is the “messaging” that is being given to patients and coworkers alike. I am certain that a competent attorney would surely see much of the motivation to my job elimination as the result of discriminatory ageism (I am nearly 65).”

“12-14 hour days because there was no support for staffing, and the hospital keeps taking patients through the ED no matter how it impacts other departments. Constantly holding patients under anesthesia in the OR because of the lack of beds on the floor and inability to move patients out of PACU, or even move our recovering patients to the overflow area in MY department (recovery). The space is monopolized by the CCO to house ER patients waiting for beds on the floor, upwards of 3 days. VERY POOR patient care and definitely impacts patient satisfaction, which the CEO demands we meet. It’s a no-win situation.”

FAQs

General

How do you suggest we use the data once you have it?

Once you’ve identified your hotspots, you will want to turn that insight into action. The framework we use is Feedback-Analysis-Action-Evaluate-Adjust which is part of our Action Planning Guide.

Over 80% of our clients report that if they are reviewing and distributing the data 1x per month that it creates the necessary action for change that results in lower turnover. We also provide you with our complimentary Action Planning Guide for proven actions you can take in order to help solve your retention problems.

Many of our clients discover that they lose a significant amount of employees within their first 30-90 days of employment. In order to create change, our clients use their ExitRight data and then pair that by using our new hire survey – StartOffRight – to measure the effectiveness of those changes to prevent possible recurring employee churn.

In order to better understand whether or not the implementations you’re putting in place are helping to solve your retention problems, we suggest you sync ExitRight with our new hire solution – StartOffRight for a more complete understanding of your employee engagement health.

What types of companies do you work with?

Over the course of the past 30 years, we have developed a core set of questions that are adapted, along with our benchmarks, to each industry. We also adapt our model to different size companies. We work with clients of all sizes across the US as well as globally, with as few as 200 employees to as large as 300,000 employees. Typically, when we process about 500 names per client for ExitRight, or in combination with our other solutions, our clients see a 10x return on investment.

What are your methods of gathering exit interview information?

Multiple methods are the key to better response rates. This is why we offer email, phone, mail, and text options. A combination of these options is typically best.

We offer respondents the ability to complete their interviews online or from any mobile device, which is our most efficient and cost-effective method. We also offer options for respondents to complete the interview by phone with a live interviewer or by paper for employees lacking email addresses.

Describe your capabilities for extending interviews in languages other than English and/or outside of the US

Online interviews can be easily translated to any other language for an additional fee. We have in-house phone interviewers that speak both Spanish and French and we use translators for non-English calls outside of the US.

What is your average response rate for participation in interviews?

When our best practices are followed, participation rates average 65-70% when two or more methods of completion are used.
