Offboarding Essentials

Facilitate departures with minimum negative impact.

We hear a lot about onboarding and how important it is in terms of cultural fit, productivity, and retention. But what about offboarding? While onboarding is about building the foundation for a strong and lasting relationship, offboarding is the structure for how people depart your organization with minimum negative impact to all involved. No matter how positive the experience during their tenure, the departure sets the tone for how you will be remembered. The specific steps to take as an employee exits vary depending on whether it is a resignation, layoff, or involuntary termination, but the main objectives remain the same:

• Keep the fallout from the departure to a minimum.
• Shape critical last impressions an employee has of the company and how they will portray you to the outside world.
• Gather information to help the organization improve hiring and the employee experience.
