Humanizing the offboarding process with Angel Cruzado

Top 3 Takeaways

1. Hit Pause. Handling employee transitions with deep empathy rather than transactional approaches reduces company risk and supports impacted individuals and their families.
2. Think Bigger. The “career prayer” approach helps transitioning employees articulate their situation and future goals, activating their network more effectively than just updating resumes.
3. Open Up. Showing gratitude to previous employers and colleagues during transitions creates positive energy that helps navigate the uncertainty of career changes.

From the Source

“When you’re sending an email and you’re terminating someone who has been someone’s best friend for 10 years in the company, it really sets the tone of people being disposed of, and I don’t think you can create culture that way.”

“What’s happening is that we’ve sort of desensitized ourselves to humans. We are not taking into account like their own personal journeys and their life story.”

“When you terminate someone without deep empathy, you’re putting the company at risk, but you’re also putting the family at risk.”

“Most people when they’re displaced by their prior employer, they’re just super angry. No man, you gotta show gratitude, like what did you learn at your prior company?”

“If you can share your journey and your path with me in a way that I am inspired by you, I will actually help you find your next gig.”

“We are innovating in the last mile of the employee lifecycle.”
