7 STEPS TO LEAVE A JOB GRACEFULLY
Deciding to leave a job is seldom an easy decision. However, it is a more common decision than many people may know, as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates the average worker holds 10 different jobs before age 40.
People change jobs for a variety of reasons. Some do so because of better opportunities elsewhere, while others simply need a change. Regardless of what is motivating a job change, leaving a place of employment can elicit various emotions, including some that may contribute to negative thoughts about a current employer.
It is always best to leave a job gracefully; doing so can pay dividends down the road. The following are seven strategies people can employ as they leave their jobs to ensure those exits go as smoothly as possible.
WATCH OUT FOR SOCIAL MEDIA
It is best for employees to keep resignation plans to themselves and off social media. People never know who is reading online posts, and bad-mouthing a soon-to-be-former employer can lead to hurt feelings and poor references. Employees should resist the urge to rant about what is making them unhappy at work or brag about new positions on social networking sites.
PLAY BY THE RULES
Employers may have plans in place about how the company prefers
resignations to be handled. The standard two- to three-week notice is a guideline. Exiting employees can visit with human resources if they need more information, such as whether a resignation letter or other documentation is required.
SPEAK WITH A DIRECT MANAGER FIRST
It is respectful for employees to notify their immediate manager or supervisor about the departure first. This gives them ample time to put a plan in place to fill the position. The more notice employees give, the more goodwill they build on their way out the door.
Employees should schedule a meeting for this purpose — do not make it an informal chat by the water cooler. Also, resist the urge to quit via email or text. Resigning requires face-to-face communication. It is best to present a concise letter of resignation that does not call out colleagues or air any grievances.
ANNOUNCE THE DEPARTURE
Exiting employees should work collectively with their managers and other higher-ups to decide how to best handle the announcement to other employees.
TRAIN A REPLACEMENT AND PREPARE FINAL ASSIGNMENTS
Volunteer to train or assist with getting a replacement set up. If employees have any outstanding projects or documents, they should be
Quitting a job can be full of mixed emotions. Proper timing and leaving in a positive way helps maintain a strong professional network.
sure to tie up loose ends before leaving. Provide instructions or a guidebook if it will help the replacement perform his or her duties more effectively.
KEEP THE MOMENTUM
It can be tempting to “phone it in” as you near departure day, but this is inadvisable. Employees should do their jobs to the best of their ability up until the time they say goodbye.
PACK PRIVATELY
Cause as little disruption as possible by packing belongings either before or after office hours. Respect the working environment, recognizing that co- workers still need to get their jobs done.
