Some of what is covered below may seem basic, but even senior executives have commented to us that they felt it was a good review.  \nStrategy for Resignation:  \nYou have effectively been through an evaluation process and made your decision, which you have determined is in the best interests of your career. Next is to prepare for handling the resignation process. As a solid performer, your organization may exhibit a strong negative reaction to your leaving. You may already be aware of what typically happens in your company when someone resigns – but whatever it is, it will “spring into action” when you give your notice. Accordingly, it is essential to anticipate that and be prepared, recognizing that you will have formally accepted the offer and given your commitment.  \nBefore Resigning:  \n• Have a clear understanding and the ability to articulate the reasons (to yourself) for leaving the organization.  \n• Think about the key person to whom you will make your resignation.  \n• Before the meeting, have the resignation date in mind, and critical that the date not be too far in the future.  \nResignation Meeting:  \n• It is our recommended practice not reveal to whom you are going at the time of the resignation. We have found it best to keep the conversation focused on the career reasons for leaving.  \n• We also suggest not disclosing the terms of your offer.  \n• Be willing to discuss any issues with your firm in a positive light.  \n• Keep the focus on the resignation and that you have already made your decision and given a commitment. It seems best that your mindset should be “I am informing you of a decision I have made”, rather than “wanting to initiate a discussion”.  \n• If asked,“Where are you going?”, it is reasonable to respond,“I am in discussions with them, and of course, I will let you know.”  \n• If you feel the need to do so, you can advise your firm where you are going on your last day.  \nAfter the Resignation:  \n• As mentioned, whatever the resignation procedure is in your group, it will kick off following your notice. In other organizations, that can range from “escorting you off the premises”(back when everyone was in an office), to“locking you out of IT access immediately”, to “let’s have a going-away party for you.” So, just be prepared.  \n• Please feel free to give me a call at any time.  \n• If your company is making a counteroffer to you to entice you to remain, please call me, and we can discuss, and can also set up any further calls/meetings if needed with your new soon-to-be manager, just to help keep your focus on the future, and the roles/plans that they have for you, etc.  \n• You may expect continued contact from me during this time, as for some, we have found that it is a significant transition, and many just like having someone else to speak with. You seem to have things well under control, rationalized, etc.  \nOther Advice:  \nMany employees are attentively listening for other opportunities that may be out there. Consequently, some companies are suffering uncomfortable employee losses, and are reacting with more aggressive efforts to retain top talent intent on resigning. As with most reactions, this can be an inefficient response and perhaps not entirely genuine; if retention were truly a goal, it would not have become an issue. Questions of efficiency aside, reactive retention efforts can work if the resigning employee (such as yourself) is surprised by a sudden showering of positive attention. Never mind that most end up leaving the company within a year anyway.  \n• Please know that resignation can be harder than you expect, but at the same time, let’s not make the event seem more dramatic than it needs to be. As you know, as in most companies, several of your colleagues may have come and gone on to seek new opportun","cbCaih38t6MOL2Bf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih38t6MOL2Bf","pdf",414073,"English","# Strategy for Resignation\n# Before Resigning\n# Resignation Meeting\n# After the Resignation\n# Other Advice\n# Resignation Letter Template\n## Giving Notice","[{\"question\":\"How should you prepare before the resignation meeting?\",\"answer\":\"Clarify your personal reasons for leaving, think about the key person to address, and decide on a resignation date that isn’t too far in the future.\"},{\"question\":\"What should you focus on during the resignation meeting?\",\"answer\":\"Keep the conversation centered on career reasons and your decision, avoid revealing who you are going to and the terms of any offer, and respond calmly if asked where you are going.\"},{\"question\":\"What guidance is provided after submitting your notice?\",\"answer\":\"Expect the organization’s procedures to begin immediately and prepare for different reactions, from access changes to farewell events.
