An exit survey process is available to assist with retention and recruitment efforts. The process has been established for staff who are voluntarily terminating their employment with Duke.

This process is designed to elicit voluntary information about each departing staff member’s experience at Duke and the reasons for their leaving. This data is collected, analyzed, and reported to Duke leaders to recommend improvements to policies, procedures, and practices.

All staff who are voluntarily resigning are sent an invitation to their Duke email account encouraging them to complete the online questionnaire. This is an anonymous survey unless the staff member requests contact and provides contact information. The information provided will be used as part of Duke’s continuing efforts to improve policies, practices, and programs and to create a more favorable workplace and work experience.

• If the staff member has already left Duke he/she will not be sent a survey request.
• If the staff member does not have an email address, the supervisor will be sent the survey and asked to have the staff member complete and return to Staff and Labor Relations.

This process does not apply to staff who are transferring within Duke, staff leaving Duke involuntarily, temporary staff or faculty members.

For further information of the exit survey process, please contact the Staff and Labor Relations Office at 684-2808.
