Best Answer

Most employers will ask an employee that has submitted a resignation for their records. If they notice a trend where many employees are resigning from their positions for the same reason, it indicates that the employer must improve or must change their policies to accommodate the employee's demands. Many workplaces and offices have what are called "exit interviews", where employees that are discharged or resign have an interview with management where they are free to express what they liked and disliked about the workplace as well as offer suggestions.

Correction - if employer detects trend of higher turnover, it need NOT accommodate employees, but might hire employees who can better tolerate the position's or departments' demands.

Exit interviews also serve a legal defense purpose. offering exiting employees the chance to say, "I was sexually harassed or otherwise illegally treated by Pat", weakens a later lawsuit if the employees denied there was any problem.
