When Employees Leave:  Firing/Resigning or Retiring

“Not in his goals, but in his transitions man is great.”  R. W. Emerson

Firing/Termination or Retiring – When an employee leaves, whether it is your choice or theirs, much can be learned that can help prevent additional turnover in the future.  Information can be gathered at this point, if it is treated as an opportunity for gaining insight.  There is never a time that an employee is more willing to disclose information that can be crucial to the employer.  This is also a time that you can add to your positive reputation in the marketplace by creating as smooth a transition as possible for that employee – who will have much to say in the corporate world about their experience as your employee.  Employees, whether current or past, are your representation to others in the corporate world of who you are as an Employer and a business.  They can dramatically affect your ability (or not) to attract excellent talent into the future.  Let me assist you in turning this time with an exiting employee into a time that creates maximum benefit to your organization.  I can provide exit interviews, outplacement services, and/or guidance to the team that is left behind.

If the employee is considering retirement I can consult with you regarding the potential of redesigning the position in such a way that could allow the organization to still benefit from the excellent talent of that employee while at the same time allowing the employee to fulfill their desire to benefit from a “Retirees” lifestyle.  If the employee must retire completely from your organization I can assist them in preparing for that retirement most effectively while also assisting your staff in the smooth transition of their replacement.

Services available at time of Termination:

1. Exit interview with employee that is leaving  
2. Outplacement services for exiting employee  
3. Consultation with Management regarding changes/improvements pertinent to vacating position  
4. Retirement consultation for employer and/or employee
