You need to plan your exit carefully, both physically and emotionally. Because in a small world, you'll never know whose path you'll cross, or who you'll bump into in the future. Informing the boss ------------------ Obviously the first thing to do, they shouldn't be left to hear from the office grapevine. If you think they will try and offer you enhancements to stay, be ready. Of course, if you could be persuaded to stay (and it is flattering to be thought of as indispensable), that is another option. But if you can't, be clear about: * Why you're leaving (more responsibility & opportunities, better package) * What you are going to divulge about the new role (how much detail are you going to go into about what the role is, organisation, structure. If you want to keep things confidential, you'll have to be tactful in fielding questions.) * When would be ideal to leave. You may have a long notice period to work through, so check your contract. If you have, and three months is not uncommon, try trading with your boss to find a mutually convenient leave date. This could be a natural break between projects or a bank holiday. A date that suits both is preferable - no-one wants someone in post for three months going through the motions. * Who needs to be told - especially communication to third parties, contractors or stakeholders as there may be contracts or other guidelines to follow. You might also plan for a successor, and if there is need for interim cover. But that might be later. Communication ------------- Any direct reports should be told next, along with other key contacts and colleagues. Face-to-face is the ideal, but this is not always possible, so choose a method that suits your organisation. Organisation for the handover ----------------------------- The temptation will be to retain everything, both hard-copy and online, with annotated notes for your successor. But is this necessary? Rather than opt for pages of notes covering every eventuality, why not talk through some keys issues with the person likely to be picking things up until some-one new is appointed. And if they make their own notes, they are going to be more likely to use them. You can be helpful and leave your new contact details with them, to offer guidance for the first couple of months if necessary. And finally ... emotion ----------------------- Not everyone will think this, but leaving a job where you've given heart and soul especially over a number of years, can be like the ending of a long term relationship - the 'shock' at seeing 'your' job on the intranet or internal notice-board, brings home the fact you are leaving. So you'll need to detach yourself emotionally. Be ready for the compliments that come your way, and find time to fit in the social side of leaving too. > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Linda Emmett has recently moved to a new role in project development for the North Devon and Exmoor Regeneration Company after 12 years with the CIPD in Wimbledon . > = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Latest Job Listings =================== Here are the latest additions to FreePint Jobs in the last two weeks at http://www.jinfo.com/ To receive it by email or to modify your subscription, visit http://www.jinfo.com/subs/ or email support@jinfo.com Please forward this Jobs Update to anyone who may find it useful. > -
