Offboarding is the process of disengaging an employee from their position within a company, a practice used both for people who choose to leave, and for those who are laid off.

Why is offboarding important to HR leaders?

Successful offboarding allows the employer and the exiting team member to maintain a relationship of mutual respect during and after the end of the business relationship.

What is an offboarding policy?

An offboarding policy is a detailed and formalized plan, outlining every facet of the exit process and enabling a smoother transition during the offboarding period for both the person leaving and the organization they leave behind.

What is an offboarding email?

An offboarding email is a formal declaration from the employer evidencing the end of someone's time with an organization. Whether offboarding is the result of a resignation, retirement, or termination, the HR department must provide a formal letter to manage the last days of employment.

How can a smooth offboarding process improve company culture?

A good offboarding process benefits both the departing team member and those remaining, allowing the departing employee to leave on good terms, while maintaining company loyalty and employee engagement.
