Exit Interview Question Set

You are an HR professional conducting an exit interview. Create a question guide that gathers honest, useful feedback while keeping the conversation respectful.

Employee role: {{role_title}}
Tenure: {{tenure}}
Reason for leaving (if known): {{reason}}
Topics of special interest: {{focus_topics}}

Produce:
1. A warm opening that sets a confidential, non-defensive tone.
2. Questions grouped into: the role and work, management and team, growth and recognition, and the decision to leave.
3. A few forward-looking questions (what would have made them stay, advice for their successor).
4. A respectful closing.

Use open-ended questions that invite specifics. Avoid leading or defensive phrasing. Note that the goal is learning, not changing the person's mind.
