Principle #18: Treat People Well on the Way Out

Separating workers (voluntary or involuntary) is an emotional experience that is likely to create long-lasting memories. Make sure those memories are positive. Treat an existing employee on their last day with the same respect as you did on their first day, when the organization had high hopes of success. There can still be success with an exiting employee as they are your brand ambassadors. Give them a good experience to share.
