About This Automation

Exit interviews and knowledge capture are critical when employees leave, yet the manual process is fragmented and time-consuming.

Automation sends a standardized exit interview form to departing employees, extracts and categorizes their responses, identifies knowledge gaps, and generates a polished handover document in a centralized location.

Key features
Send standardized exit interview forms automatically to departing employees with deadline reminders
Extract and categorize knowledge by type: clients, systems, processes, and projects
Identify missing information and flag items requiring clarification from the team
Generate formatted handover documents organized by department and role
Store all knowledge records in a searchable central location for future reference
Reduce time from exit to ready handover from days to hours

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Resignation Receivedtrigger

HR or manager flags a departure in the system or sends a notification. The automation detects the trigger and initiates the exit interview workflow.

2. Send Interview Invitation

An automated email is sent to the departing employee with a link to a standardised exit interview form and a request to complete it within 2 business days.

3. Collect Structured Responses

The departing employee completes a standardised form covering projects, clients, system access, undocumented processes, and recommendations. Responses are captured in a structured format.

4. Extract and Categorise Knowledge

The automation parses the form responses, categorises information by type (client contacts, system access, project status, process documentation), and flags missing or unclear answers.

5. Generate Handover Document

The automation creates a structured handover document, organised by category, with clear ownership and next steps for each item.

6. Alert Team of Gaps

A notification is sent to the manager and relevant team members, highlighting missing information and requesting clarification before the employee's final day.

7. Archive Knowledge Record

The completed handover document and interview responses are stored as a searchable knowledge base, tagged by department and employee name for future reference.
