Exit Management and Offboarding Practice

Handle every kind of exit, resignation, retirement, dismissal and death in service, with the same consistency applied to a new hire's first day. Delegates build an offboarding checklist, run a genuinely useful exit interview, manage knowledge transfer before a critical employee leaves, and close out final pay, benefits and system access without leaving loose ends for the next audit.

What you will be able to do

  • Build a consistent offboarding checklist that covers every type of exit.
  • Conduct an exit interview that surfaces useful and honest feedback.
  • Plan knowledge transfer before a critical employee's last working day.
  • Calculate final pay, leave and benefit settlements accurately.
  • Manage system access removal and asset recovery on exit.
  • Analyse exit data to identify patterns worth acting on.
