The DePaul Faculty Exit Interview process is designed to collect climate and other qualitative data from faculty as they separate from the university.
Although some degree of turnover is to be expected as a result of retirements, personal circumstances, and career advancements, DePaul recognizes the importance of identifying environment and other workplace issues that may also contribute to turnover.
The exit interview process will provide exiting faculty an opportunity to voice concerns and make suggestions, as well as an opportunity to highlight DePaul's areas of strength. This information will enable Academic Affairs to identify trends and patterns to help inform the creation of retention strategies and initiatives.
Exiting faculty will be contacted to participate in a confidential, open-ended exit interview administered by The Work Institute, a renowned organization specializing in employee engagement strategies. Please expect an email invitation from The Work Institute with instructions on how to participate upon your departure from DePaul. If you do not receive an email invite, please expect a call from a 1-866 number. You will be able to choose how to participate, by answering their call or scheduling an appointment at a preferred time and date. The Work Institute will attempt to reach you at your personal email and personal phone number on file within our system, so it is important before you leave your position to make sure that your contact information is up to date in BlueSky. We value and encourage your willingness to participate and be as open as possible when they call.
