interviews are in vogue for more than three decades now. Even
in India, most of the employers are conducting these interviews
today. No one is however, sure if they are carried out the
way they are desired. Nevertheless, they provide great insights
into how employees perceive their organizations and the levels
of "employee-satisfaction". In the light of increasing employee-turnover,
organizations have to perforce conduct these interviews in
a "non-perfunctory" way to elicit information on what prompts
employees to leave so that they can initiate corrective measures
for arresting attrition.
