Smooth Exits: Self-Offboarding with ZenHR

While onboarding gets most of the attention, offboarding is critical in protecting your brand and ensuring compliance. 71% of organizations admit they don’t have a formal offboarding process, leading to missed handovers, legal risks, and poor final impressions.

ZenHR’s Self-Offboarding feature changes that. It empowers HR teams to design structured workflows that guide employees through a complete, compliant, and respectful exit process, whether they’re resigning or being terminated.

Key Benefits:

  • Custom Offboarding Flows: Assign tasks like returning assets, downloading agreements, and submitting final documents.

  • Sequential Tasking: Requires tasks to be completed in order, e.g., asset return before clearance.

  • Built-in Termination Tools: Log termination reasons, dates, and flag pending actions.

  • Final Settlement Automation: Automatically calculate end-of-service benefits and generate downloadable settlement slips.

  • Consistency & Compliance: Create standardized offboarding workflows aligned with legal and internal policies.

ZenHR’s HR automation makes offboarding easier for HR teams and more transparent for departing employees, leaving no loose ends behind.

Why It Matters: A Complete Employee Lifecycle Experience

Delivering a smooth employee journey from onboarding to offboarding isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s a competitive advantage. Poor onboarding increases the likelihood of new hires leaving within the first six months, while unclear offboarding can expose your business to legal and security risks.

ZenHR’s Self-Onboarding and Self-Offboarding features are designed to close those gaps. They simplify the transition process, boost productivity, and ensure that beginnings and endings are handled with clarity, care, and efficiency.

Whether you're welcoming new talent or saying goodbye, ZenHR helps your HR team deliver a professional, compliant, and human-centered experience, every step of the way.
