As we navigate {@employeename}’s transition out of your team, we want to ensure a smooth offboarding process. Below is a checklist to guide you through the necessary steps:

Offboarding Checklist:

1. Exit interview: Schedule and conduct an exit interview with {@employeename} to gather valuable feedback on their experience and insights that can contribute to improvements within our team.
2. Handover meetings: Facilitate handover meetings between {@employeename} and their team members to ensure a seamless transition of ongoing projects and responsibilities.
3. Return company property: Confirm that {@employeename} has returned all company property, including laptop, access cards, keys, and any other equipment.
4. Access removal: Coordinate with IT to revoke access to all company systems and platforms. Ensure that they no longer have access to sensitive information on their last day.
5. Forwarding email and auto-response: Set up email forwarding for {@employeename} and configure an auto-response to redirect incoming emails to the relevant contact person. This helps to manage communication effectively.
