AI agent for employee relations specialists
Exit Interview Theme Agent
Clear, anonymous themes from exit interviews that lead to action
What it does
Exit interviews hold useful information, but they are filed away and the reasons people leave are not acted on. Each quarter this agent reads exit interview notes and survey answers, groups reasons for leaving into themes such as manager, pay, growth or workload, and links them with department, tenure and role. It checks a sample of themed answers by reading them in full. If a theme mixes reasons, it splits it and regroups. It compares themes with turnover rates and past quarters to find growing issues. A small team where answers could identify a person is reported only at a higher level. It drafts a report with themes, trends and suggested actions, with no names. The HR specialist approves it.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
