Offboarding

Saying goodbye to an employee

When you as a company end an employment relationship with an employee, it’s important to say goodbye properly. It’s about showing them that you have appreciated them and their work during their tenure. Offboarding is a great way to end an employment relationship, where you as a company help them move forward in their life and career. It’s the right way to exit and treat your employees when a termination comes as a surprise and shock to many.

Offboarding, also known as employee exit management, is when an employee leaves the company. In this process, the employee can be turned into a loyal ambassador. Most organizations don’t have a formal and effective offboarding process for their employees. Onboarding, which is the opposite of offboarding, often requires a lot of energy from the company.

A well-organized offboarding can benefit both the employee and the organization. It is especially beneficial in terms of positive publicity and reference of the company, the verbal transmission that it is a good company and that the employee will recommend others to work there. It creates positive signals to the employee and to colleagues who continue to work for the company. It will reflect an open, responsible and honest culture within the company.
