Abstract:
Due to the monetary cost associated with turnover and the potential impact on data quality, the retention of trained field interviewing staff is a major concern for the Census Bureau. The BC-1294, Field Representative Exit Questionnaire, is the instrument we use to collect data from former current survey interviewers. We use the Exit Questionnaire to identify the reasons for interviewer turnover and to determine what the Census Bureau might have done, or can do, to influence interviewers not to leave. The information we collect from former current survey interviewers will allow for better informed management decisions regarding the future field work force and the implementation of more effective retention strategies.
