Central
Hawkes Bay
Te Whatu Ora in Hawke’s Bay asks employees to complete an exit survey upon receipt of a
resignation notice. The exit survey is not mandatory but is encouraged.
In the last twelve months there have been 29 employees who have completed this survey and self-
identified as “medical workforce” which would cover RMO and SMO roles.
Results indicate that eight left for an overseas health job, 13 went to another district, three ceased
work, two went to another health provider and three did not answer this part of the survey.
The main reason for leaving was relocation, career development and overseas travel.
Mid Central
Staff departing the organisation are provided with an opportunity to participate in an exit
interview. This is offered online and in person. Participation in these exit interviews is voluntary
and staff choose to disclose information at wil . Most staff do not disclose the location of their next
employment and therefore MidCentral does not have any data by which we can ascertain if a
doctor (or any other staff member for that matter) has left the employment of Midcentral district to
proceed to Australia. Information in regards to reasons for exiting are not recorded, we are
therefore required to decline under section 18(e) of the Official Information Act 1982, as this
information does not exist.
