When an employee leaves your organization, it doesn’t have to mean the end of the relationship. In today’s fluid job market, employees often return to former companies or partner with them in new capacities. This is where offboarding becomes a critical tool—not just for saying goodbye, but for building bridges toward future collaborations.
A LinkedIn survey found that 41% of professionals would consider returning to a former employer if the circumstances were right. Rehiring former employees—also known as “boomerang hires”—can be a strategic advantage for organizations. These employees bring a wealth of experience, familiarity with the company culture, and new insights gained elsewhere.
But the key to making this possible lies in how you manage their departure. A positive offboarding experience lays the foundation for future collaborations. By showing genuine appreciation for their contributions and keeping the exit process professional and transparent, you leave the door open for potential opportunities down the line.
