Whatever may be the reason for your exit, all you need is to serve your notice period just like any other employee. Either you are leaving the organization voluntarily or have been asked to put down yourself, your last few days at the company will reflect yourself to your boss and colleagues as you are no longer trying to impress them.

Give a thorough handover

Whether you’ve worked alone or in a team, you need to transfer your duties and responsibilities to the other employee or your current colleagues while serving in your notice period. It is the common formality to tie up your loose ends and give up all your documents and files to whoever will be handling your duties after your exit. If you are done properly, you will not only be viewed as a responsible individual, but you’ll also ensure a fair farewell.

Continue to work like you used to

It is important to act properly and respect the colleagues as one is still under the notice period and working for that company. Making plans with friends and roaming around here and there for a long time during working hours should be avoided. Maintain your daily dose of routine, and if you need time off during this period, inform your boss in advance instead of simply bunking office hour.

Collect References

At the beginning of your end period, speak to your senior officers and HR and ask them to write reference letters for you, politely. Even if you have successfully secured your next job, don’t underestimate the letters and think of these letters as long-term investments that showcase your soft skills and details like your date of joining, relieving till your last designation.

Clear all Cocuments

Get a clearance certificate from all. Transfer all your personal contacts and data from your office to your own devices. Calculate your salaries, bonuses, commissions, reimbursement bills, and encashment of leaves with your HR before you leave so that your final payment is free of dues.

Plan Your Future

It might happen that you have already secured your next job or you might be leaving your current job for further studies. Whatever the scenario may be, use the time at hand to explore your career options and plan your future. If your timings clash with your company hours, request your HR to give you an hour or two off the office.

Keep the relation between your seniors and juniors politely and always be eager to help them. You never know when might they be keen to you or vice-versa. You can always get the help from your seniors even when you have left the job. So, maintaining a stable, healthy relation with your seniors will always help you in need.

Wish you all the best!
