Face it. Sooner or later, even the best employer has employees resign. They think that they’ve found a better opportunity or their spouse has accepted a job out-of-state. They decide to stay home with children or find themselves providing long-term care for a parent.
The reasons are endless for what causes an employee resignation. But, each employee resignation poses the employer with the same series of questions.
Employee resigns. Do these 5 things:
1. Wish them all the best.
2. Let them know if they need anything like a recommendation, please feel free to contact you.
3. Conduct an exit interview and use the findings to make positive changes in the organization.
4. Show appreciation for all their good work.
5. Tell them they are always welcome back.
Too often when an employee resigns, bosses treat them like they are traitors and can’t wait to march them out the door. Whether someone is staying or leaving, you should always treat people with dignity and respect. If companies treated employees right in the first place, they would not be so quick to leave.
