HR reports nearly 48% response rate on exit surveys; family/personal reasons, salary cited most often
Summary
Human resources told the board they emailed 107 exit surveys since July 1 and received 51 responses (about 48%); the most common reasons for leaving were family/personal reasons (about 19.6%) and inadequate salary (about 17.6%).
Human resources staff reported at the Jan. 14 workshop that from July 1 to Jan. 13 the district sent 107 exit‑survey requests to departing employees and received 51 responses, a response rate of about 48 percent.
HR summarized the responses by employee type: roughly 51 percent of respondents were instructional staff, 43 percent were non‑instructional, and about 6 percent were in administrative‑professional roles. When asked about reasons for separation, the largest single category was family/personal reasons (about 10 of 51 responses, or 19.6 percent). Relocation and health problems together increased that family/personal category to about 21 of 51 responses. The next most common cause cited was inadequate salary (9 of 51 responses, about 17.6 percent).
HR said their exit survey asks whether respondents want follow‑up contact; HR staff said they do contact employees who request a conversation and that some follow‑ups yielded clarifying details (for example, requests for remote work or salary concerns). Board members asked whether survey responses would trigger further outreach or systemic review; HR said they will reach out when respondents request contact and that they have been improving exit‑interview processes to increase transparency and gather actionable feedback.
The board discussed reporting patterns and requested that HR notify the board if exit surveys reveal a recurring pattern that requires attention.
