A communication disseminated internally to inform personnel about a colleague’s departure from the organization. These messages often include the employee’s name, last day of employment, and a brief expression of gratitude for their contributions. These are typically drafted by Human Resources or the departing employee’s manager and distributed via company email.
Such notifications offer several advantages. They maintain transparency and prevent speculation among staff, ensuring everyone receives the same, official information. A well-crafted message can also foster goodwill by acknowledging the employee’s service and wishing them well in their future endeavors, contributing to a positive company culture. Historically, these communications were less common, but increased emphasis on employee relations and internal communications has made them standard practice in many organizations.
