Haysville City Council considers exit interview policy

The Haysville City Council got its first look at a possible city employee exit interview process at its Aug. 27 meeting.
Council members had requested discussion of such a policy at their last meeting after a citizen raised concerns about turnover among police officers and the lack of exit interviews in that department.
Background information indicated the council had approved a motion in January 2005 to eliminate exit interviews from the personnel manual. The proposed procedure would call for the assistant city clerk to conduct all exit interviews by reading a set of questions to the employee and writing down the employee’s answers. The employee would review the answers, then sign and date the form. The interview form would be emailed to the employee’s department head and the chief administrative officer after the employee had terminated employment.
