Unexpected resignations

This can come as a shock and can feel personal to some managers. Emotions can run high and tension can escalate.  Bringing in independent support takes away the emotion and enables a balanced and fair transition to exit for everyone. 

What do we do now?

If resignations are rare in your company, then it understandable that you would need to seek guidance on this question.  Even if you have a policy that sets out the theory, how to handle it in a real-life scenario is a skill.  We can make sure you cover all bases. 

Difficulty working out notice periods and final payments

There are contractual obligations on both sides. Agreeing an exit date, and the payments due to the employee need to be done transparently and in line with your processes. Deductions may be required from any final salary payments. This can be a difficult conversation so it makes sense to have experienced support on hand. 

Should we make a counter-offer?

There are a number of factors to consider before you decide to make a counter-offer.  The money is only one aspect. We have experience of helping managers make the right decision for their team and the business as a whole.
