Best Practices for Offboarding Employees During COVID-19

Summary

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, employee retention was at an all-time low.

And now, between layoffs, furloughs, and your run-of-the-mill turnover, you’re likely to be doing a whole lot more offboarding than onboarding.

The worst part? When an employee leaves your company, they take time, knowledge, and revenue with them – and you’re left trying to fill in the gaps created in their absence.

Not to mention that a negative offboarding experience can come back to haunt the organization.

Luckily, parting ways with an employee, no matter the reason, doesn’t have to be a total loss. You can still generate a return on the investment you’ve made in departing employees with effective, thoughtful, and empathetic offboarding.

And as a bonus, you can figure out what went wrong – so when you backfill their role, you can find someone who can be a better fit for the long haul.

Join this workshop to learn:

• Why there’s no “one size fits all” offboarding strategy, and what elements of the employee experience are in your control
• How employee offboarding best practices have evolved during the COVID-19 pandemic

• How to offboard terminated employees
