# Offboarding

## Overview

Offboarding is the controlled end of the employment relationship. It covers access, assets, knowledge, final pay, communications, and learning from why people leave.

## When to Use

- Resignation and termination workflows
- Knowledge transfer for critical roles
- Exit interviews and attrition analysis
- Reducing security and compliance risk at exit

## Core Practices

- Use checklists for access revocation, assets, and accounts
- Coordinate final pay and benefits notices correctly
- Capture knowledge transfer for critical responsibilities
- Conduct exit interviews with usable structure
- Communicate departures appropriately internally
- Analyze attrition themes for retention action

## Principles

- How people leave affects remaining employees’ trust
- Security timing matters — especially involuntary exits
- Exit interview honesty requires psychological safety
- Alumni relationships can be future assets if exits are respectful

## Verification

- [ ] Access and asset checklist is reliable
- [ ] Exit data is captured and reviewed
- [ ] Critical-role knowledge transfer is planned
