Financial Institution Leverages Exit Survey Insights To Drive Retention Efforts

Challenge

Exit interviews are critical for organizations to understand why an individual is leaving and to glean insights that can have a dramatic impact on employee retention.  In the past, this 10,000+ employee financial institution had attempted to conduct exit surveys to gain a better understanding of employee attrition.  However, with their current approach, they were not successful in getting employees that were leaving the company to participate, often-times, only getting 30-35% participation rates.

The financial institution wanted to dramatically increase survey participation rates and make it easier for departing employees to provide feedback. This is where People Element provided their employee experience and engagement platform.

Solution

Utilizing People Element’s employee experience and engagement solution and the easy-to-use process and communication templates, this client was able to provide a frictionless way to collect vital data from their departing employees.   Participation for this client was driven through a three-pronged approach including email, SMS (text), and phone calls (supported by  the People Element call center). In addition, the HR team was able to track and monitor participation through People Element’s innovative reporting features integrated into the platform.

  • Make providing feedback easy for employees

Result
