Understanding why employees choose to leave your company is important and can prevent you losing employees in the future. You should identify any patterns or common issues causing people to leave.

How can you do this?

Exit interviews.

Loosing a valued member of your team can set your business back. You've probably spent time and money getting someone integrated into your business, and if they're resigning of their own volition, you'll want to know why.

By holding an exit interview, you'll be able to understand the reasons for an employee leaving, helping you to retain more people in the future.

What might you include in a leaver's checklist?

Outstanding expense claims
Equipment returned: Laptop/Mobile phone
Keys, badges, and security passes
Company documents
Handover of outstanding work

Restricted Covenant Insurance - protecting your interests:

Taking Restricted Covenant Insurance out prevents your employees from leaving and taking your data away with them. However, some employees might still breach this agreement.

With insurance from the HR Dept, you'll have full peace of mind and in the event that a contractual agreement is breached, we'll be on hand to help.

What should you do when issues arise?

In an ideal world, all working relationships would end on the best of terms, but this isn't always the case. To resolve issues, it's best to consult a HR professional for guidance.
