After I left a previous company, I noticed something that stayed with me: I still had a login for our premium LinkedIn Recruiter seat, even weeks after my last day. We all know what that seat is worth 💸 😅. That experience taught me that offboarding is just as critical as onboarding. It’s easy to let it slip when you're busy, but it shouldn't be an afterthought. Beyond keeping a great relationship with your former team, who you want to remain your brand ambassadors, doing it right is about stopping unnecessary costs and closing security gaps before they become a real problem. Offboarding is often the forgotten part of the employee lifecycle. When you’re busy, tasks get scattered across PeopleOps, IT and Finance. And when it’s manual, things slip. What "slipping" actually looks like: - The Cost: paying for premium licenses (like LinkedIn, ClassPass or Udemy) for people who aren't there. - The Risk: former employees still having access to Slack, internal docs or sensitive data. - The Admin: chasing laptops, NS Business Cards, office keys and office equipment manually through endless emails. At Tellent, we solved this with an Offboarding Journey. It’s a multi-stakeholder workflow where IT, Finance, and Managers all get their own automated checklists. No more "did we remember to...?" or "who owns this task?" It was one of the simplest Journeys to set up, but it honestly delivers the highest return on peace of mind. No ghost users, no wasted budget and no security gaps. I wrote about how our People team uses Journeys here: https://hubs.ly/Q044Q8vH0
