An offboarding checklist serves several important purposes in the context of an organization's HR processes when an employee is leaving, whether due to resignation, retirement, termination, or other reasons. It is a critical tool for managing the departure of employees in a way that is orderly, respectful, and beneficial for both the individual and the organization. It helps mitigate risks, protect assets, and maintain a positive organizational culture. Use this checklist within your organization as a guide to ensure smooth and consistent transition for both the departing employee(s) and your organization.
