Departing Employee Exit Interviews

When employees leave an organization, having an exit interview serves a number of purposes. As part of an employee secrecy education program, it reinforces the importance the company puts on its confidential information, making it less likely there will be a problem; it gives an opportunity to specifically identify for the employee what ongoing obligations there are to the organization – and what limits the employee has on future employment. If there was an employment agreement, it is a good idea to go through the terms the employee previously accepted. Documenting the exit interview process also aids in preservation of evidence that would be needed if there were trade secret litigation.

It takes experienced attorneys to design an exit interview process to achieve these goals. Please contact Arnold & Knobloch to see what we can do for your organization.
