Qu'est-ce que Offboarding ?

The structured process of managing an employee's departure, including knowledge transfer and an exit interview.

Definition

Offboarding is the counterpart of onboarding: it encompasses all actions taken when an employee leaves (resignation, dismissal, retirement). This includes equipment return, knowledge handover, access revocation and an exit interview.

In practice

A well-managed offboarding preserves the employer brand: former employees become ambassadors or potential future clients. The exit interview is particularly valuable for identifying the root causes of turnover and improving working conditions.

Key takeaway

A respectful offboarding leaves a positive final impression and can facilitate future recruitment through positive word-of-mouth.
