Exit Interviews

Employees who are resigning or retiring have the option to take part in an exit interview.

Exit interviews give employees a confidential opportunity to share feedback about their experience working with the GNWT, including what worked well and where improvements could be made. For employees, exit interviews are a safe way to be heard and brings closure to their employment experience. For the GNWT, aggregated feedback supports organizational learning, workforce planning, and continuous improvement over time.

Participation is entirely voluntary. Feedback is collected by an independent third-party provider and shared with the GNWT in an anonymized, aggregated form only.

Who can participate

All GNWT employees who are resigning, retiring, whose term has ended, or who are leaving the GNWT through termination may request an exit interview.

Requesting an exit interview

Employees may request an exit interview by completing an Exit Interview Request Form.
