Employee exit management

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Employee exit management is the process used within many businesses to terminate employees in a professional manner. It applies to employees who have resigned and those that have been terminated by the company. It is the opposite of an induction programme which is the process for on-boarding an employee.

When an employee is terminated there are a number of considerations that an organization needs to make in order to cleanly end the relationship between the company and the employee.[1] The company as a legal entity has a responsibility to the employee which may extend beyond the period of employment and this is the primary focus of the exit procedure.[2] The general issues are[3]:

  • Avoiding litigation
  • Trade secret protection
  • Potential re-hire
