Offboarding timeline example
Offboarding or Exit surveys need to be run at a specific point in an employee's journey with you. The following example shows the sequence of activities required to ensure the survey is sent to the right person, at the right time.
We've chosen a 30-day sending period for this example, but you can choose other sending periods like 14, 7, 5, 3 or 1 day.
If you have automation turned on
This is the sequence of activity:
- More than 30 days from the end date: You need to enter the employee's end date into your participant library.
- 30 days from the end date: The employee is automatically added to the survey and sent an invitation to take it. This invitation is sent by email or text.
💡 If you add the employee's end date to the library after the 30-day mark, they'll be automatically added to the survey and sent an invitation within 10 minutes.
If you have automation turned off
This is the sequence of activity:
- More than 30 days from the end date: You need to manually add the employee to the survey and enter their end date.
- 30 days from the end date: The employee is automatically sent an invitation to take the survey. This invitation is sent by email or text.
💡 If you add the employee to the survey after the 30-day mark, they'll be automatically sent an invitation within 10 minutes of that action.
Will I be notified when the participant completes the survey?
This depends on how you've set up your survey.
If you'd like to be notified when someone completes your offboarding survey:
- Go to Surveys and find your offboarding survey.
- Select the three dots to open the survey menu.
- Select Edit and then the Communications tab.
- Scroll down to the question: Who should we notify when someone completes this survey? and select an option or enter your details.
