Exit Management Offboarding Checklist & Exit Interviews help in reducing attrition by analyzing data and making employee offboarding a good experience. Exit Management or employee offboarding is a process to manage the full and final settlement of employees when they exit from an organization.
When an employee resigns, retires or is being terminated from work, the required paperwork and formalities associated with employee exit need to go through a systematic process. Exit interview, clearance from various departments, replacement of the departing employee, full and final settlement of employee dues and more – HR has a lot on the plate during employee offboarding.
It has been observed that though organizations are equipped with the latest HR tools to hire and onboard new hires, they struggle to conduct a flawless employee offboarding process. According to a survey by TEKsystems, only 14 percent of IT leaders strongly agree that their organization has an effective employee exit management process.
