Offboarding describes the steps that are taken when a business and one of its employees are formally separating — this could be as a result of dismissal, resignation, redundancy, or even retirement.
Employee offboarding is usually quite admin-focused, and may includes things like:
Collecting any company equipment or uniform from the departing employee
Collecting or deactivating any keys or passes in the employee’s possession
Deactivating the employee’s company email address or company logins
Adjusting the work rota to fill any gaps created by the employee’s departure
Conducting an exit interview together with a member of your HR team
In addition to the offboarding process, employee aftercare focuses more on the interpersonal elements of parting ways with a member of your team, with a view to doing so on the best possible terms.
