How I now handle Resignations

Handling employee resignations can be a challenging experience, but I strongly believe that encouraging employees who no longer wish to work for the company to find alternative employment is the right approach. I recently had lunch with a new staff member and highlighted that they have access to me if they have any issues at all. I also made it clear that if they realise the business is not for them, they should let me know. By doing this, we can avoid having holes in the business that are hard to fill because we have a bit of runway while we try to help them find a job. This approach not only helps our employees but also helps us to recruit new staff members simultaneously. It's a win-win situation. I appreciate that some businesses might be reluctant to do this, but I believe it's the best way to handle resignations.
