Unlike onboarding, offboarding is the process in which an employee leaves the company, either permanently or temporarily. Often during this process, the employee may transfer their responsibilities over, introduce their replacement to the position, or simply wrap up some pending items before their departure.
During a normal year, there is an organized process in place that includes all of the above in addition to things like exit interviews, the collection of company property that the employee may have had, and even some form of farewell lunch or event. However, since many organizations across the country have shifted over to a remote workforce, offboarding will have to look a bit different to accommodate these changes.
If the employee’s departure was involuntary on their part, then the offboarding process may be quicker and only require that they turn in their equipment and a few other housekeeping items. But if that is not the case, here are a few things to consider if your employee is departing while working remotely.
Each organization operates differently, and it is important to discuss these procedures with your HR personnel or service provider to ensure that each step is what makes the most sense for your company. The most important thing is to be safe prepared during these times.
