OffboardingHandle Employee Transitions Quickly, Easily, Consistently
A S I L K R O A D
Brief
Offboarding | SilkRoad.com
Bad employee separations can result in lost productivity,
intellectual and physical property loss, and additional
processing costs. Plus, poor offboarding often leads to
poor ratings on Glassdoor and other crowd-sourced
reviews about employers.
Like the new hire onboarding experience, the offboarding
process offers an opportunity to demonstrate the key
attributes of your employment culture and brand. As
the market becomes more competitive, every aspect
of employee engagement needs to reflect the best
of your organization. This becomes a strong part of
the end-toend employee engagement from new hire
to departure. Ensuring that the offboarding process
goes smoothly, quickly and without confusion makes
the departing employee feel professional and that the
process was as efficient as possible.

A 3 Ways to Manage the Offboarding Process
What can you do to ensure a positive offboarding process
in your organization? Below are a few simple steps to get
you started:
1 . S U P P O R T Y O U R E M P L O Y E E S
In any separation, it’s critical to the morale of the
departing employee, as well as the entire workforce, that
the process is fair and careful. Direct communication with
the departing employee works. A thank you message along
with information on benefits or retirement funding will
mitigate stress and help maintain amicable relationships.
2 . R E TA I N C R U C I A L K N O W L E D G E A N D C O S T S
Poor offboarding can lead to the loss of invaluable key
company knowledge, supplies or equipment. An example
of such loss is the failure to revoke access to internal and
external systems, or mistakenly continued benefits after
separation, the consequences of which can be devastating.
Like onboarding, a process guided by automation and
activity checklists ensures that nothing is forgotten.
3 . P R O T E C T Y O U R S E L F
A consistent, documented and organized offboarding
process reduces the risk of lawsuits and loss of private
company information. Paperless workflows reduce
costs by offboarding employees quickly and reducing
administration errors or last minute forgotten tasks.
