Why Is Offboarding Just as Important as Onboarding?

We all know how important onboarding is for a successful employee journey. It helps a new hire get established and learn company policies and practices while allowing a company to emphasize its mission and values. A great onboarding process is a critical part of a strong company culture.

But what about offboarding? I don’t hear companies talking enough about employee departures and how that process actually works. There are very good reasons why offboarding should be a priority when revamping workplace culture since it:

• Lets you know the advantages and disadvantages of a role
• Establishes a better, more positive relationship with employees, even after they’re gone
• Allows an opportunity for honest feedback about a company
• Improves a brand’s reputation and culture

Valuing your employees – and showing them that you value them – shouldn’t end when they’re leaving. Offboarding should be just as important as onboarding in their journey with your organization.
