Exercise for The Proactive Confidential Advisor

The proactive confidential advisor develops not only through conversations but especially through reflection, visibility, and strategic practice. The exercise below helps you avoid reactive language, make your role visible, and generate structural impact within your organization. You can use this exercise on your own, during peer supervision, or in collaboration with HR or management.

Exercise: Exit Interviews as a Source for Prevention

Goal: Identify preventive signals from exit interviews without focusing on isolated incidents.

Step 1: Ask HR if you may confidentially receive input from exit interviews.

Step 2: Use the following reflection questions:

  • What contributed to this employee’s decision to leave?

  • Are there signs of a socially or psychologically unsafe climate?

  • Is the departure symptomatic of a broader cultural issue?

Step 3: Include anonymous trends in your quarterly reporting as preventive advice.
