How do I resign professionally?

✔️ Check your contract to see your notice period, how the contract can be terminated & the impact of any Restrictive Covenants.

✔️ Resign Face to Face & provide follow up with a resignation letter or email. For assistance in drafting the letter, please see our template.

✔️ Thank your Manager for the experiences and support you have had to date.

✔️ If your Manager requires you to leave the premises immediately or go on garden leave, be prepared.

✔️ Rehearse so you are confident in what you will say.

✔️ Consider if you will tell your Manager what company you will be moving too.

✔️ Be prepared they might respond with a counter offer.

✔️ Keep your resignation confidential as your Manager will likely want to break the news to the team themselves.

✔️ Follow up with HR regarding your last day & any Exit interviews or processes to ensure these are completed.

✔️ Prepare thorough handover notes and leave on a positive note.

✔️ Connect with your colleagues on Linkedin to stay in touch for future collaboration.
