UC Santa Cruz Staff Exit Interview Program

I. Summary

The purpose of conducting exit interviews with individuals voluntarily separating from positions at UC Santa Cruz is to obtain feedback about the UC Santa Cruz work environment and the factors that may have led to an employee’s decision to leave their employment.

Employee & Labor Relations (ELR) will email a link to the online exit survey. An in-person or Zoom interview with the ELR Administrative Specialist can be conducted at the request of the employee.

This feedback is intended to support the campus in making decisions that will enable our recruitment, hiring, and retention of the best qualified and most diverse workforce possible.

II. Process Overview

When an ER Analyst learns of a resignation, they will forward the information to the ELR Administrative Specialist, who will then send an online exit survey to the employee to be completed voluntarily. The employee may also request an in-person or Zoom interview with the ELR Administrative Specialist.

The survey should take anywhere from 10-20 minutes depending on how much feedback you would like to offer. Please go to the following URL to complete the survey:
