Ensure a Smooth Transition with BerniePortal’s Offboarding Feature

When an employee resigns they often leave a gap that can be felt throughout the organization. From additional paperwork to training and transitioning tasks to other team members, there is a lot for HR to manage when an employee leaves. While it might feel premature to plan for an employee’s departure long before their resignation, it’s wise for organizations to always remain prepared. 

Here’s how BerniePortal’s Offboarding feature works in harmony with other HR features to proactively plan for a smooth transition from the minute the employee is hired.

How BerniePortal’s Offboarding feature Helps Initiate a Smooth Transition

Recruiting is often a pain point for many organizations, putting an increased emphasis on retaining “rockstar” employees. However, having an employee stay at your organization throughout the entire span of their career is not always realistic. BerniePortal works hard to help your organization welcome new employees with open arms, and proactively plan for a smooth offboarding experience should they ever leave.

When an employee resigns, their manager can terminate the employee within BerniePortal to immediately kick start their offboarding experience. When terminating an employee you can mark what day will be their last at your organization, note a reason for resignation if there is one, and assign an offboarding checklist. These offboarding checklists work similarly to onboarding checklists by being fully customizable and a great tool to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.  

Offboarding an employee can often require the attention of multiple people within your organization. BerniePortal allows you to assign offboarding managers to view tasks from the offboarding checklist to ensure every item gets crossed off. Tackling these offboarding “to-dos” upfront allows organizations to feel confident with every transition, even the unexpected ones.
