" Top 5 Things Manager's / Company Should Learn
to Do After an Employee Resigns "
When one of your best employees quits his
job, expect that some people in your team will be all eyes and ears about how
you would react. Here are some things to keep in mind if a top employee hands
in his resignation papers:
Following are five things I find extremely
important for managers to keep in mind when someone gives their resignation.
1. Don't change your attitude when someone
resigns. Treat them with respect as you did before. It's not true that
employees become unprofessional after they resign. Remember, treat them well to
be treated back well.
2. Don't take it personally. Arguing/becoming
rude is not good. There could be several reasons why an employee is moving on.
Don't announce publicly that you are relieved a bad performer is moving on.
3. Try to hold them back if they are key to
company's success. Understand what went wrong & sort things in your team.
Good employees deserve a counter-offer for your own sake.
4. Don't make their lives miserable. Make it
easy for them to do a smooth handover/KT. Don't burn bridges. Your success is
when an ex-employee one day comes back to join you.
5. Bid farewell in a nice way. Appreciate
their contribution. Tell them they will be missed. Congratulate on their
success for the next job.
Bottom line-A company's true culture &
values are tested when an employee is parting ways. Send them off with dignity.
Wish them luck & take pride in their success. Only then you will get the
same consideration from employees.
