Tips

• Treat every offboarding as a brand moment—former employees become recruiters, clients, or competitors.
• Conduct exit interviews at least two weeks after the last day to get more candid feedback.
• Separate the exit interview from the HR administrative process to reduce perceived risk for the departing employee.
• Systematically analyze exit data quarterly to connect departure patterns to retention strategy.
• For involuntary separations, prepare the manager thoroughly—the conversation itself affects team morale beyond the individual.
• Build knowledge transfer into the offboarding timeline from day one of the notice period.
