EMA HR Webinar: Turning Offboarding into a Strategic Advantage

Every exit is a moment of truth. Whether an employee leaves under a change scenario or to explore new opportunities, how you manage their departure speaks volumes about your workplace culture.

In this session, our EMA people experts will unpack how to take offboarding from a paperwork procedure to a human-first process. Together, you'll explore the leadership mindsets for supporting talent to outgrow their roles; using offboarding as a tool for continuous improvement; and protecting your EVP in the face of personnel change.

Join us for a fireside chat led by our EMA people experts, and we’ll help you get it right.

This webinar is for you if you’re:

• An HR Advisor or small business owner needing to protect your business reputation, while demonstrating your values in action
• An up-and-coming HR partner looking to use constructive feedback to fuel meaningful change, while ensuring strong processes at all stages of the employee lifecycle
• A people leader wanting to support your team through a potential gap in both skills and culture, while laying groundwork for understanding the best person to next fill this role

At this webinar, you will gain:  

• Learning through case studies – What worked, what didn’t, and what you can take from it 
• Interactive discussions – with Q&A opportunities to get an expert perspective in real time 
• Best practice tips and takeaways – including tools for preparing your leaders to get the most out of this process, and supporting talent to grow, no matter where their path leads
