    The beginning of an employee’s journey is discussed frequently in business—interviewing, hiring, and onboarding—and Amanda and Brenda provided an improved process and tools for each in The Team Solution Series. Yet, how to prepare for an employee’s last day is often overlooked. The Exit Process is an excellent guide to the end of the employee journey. This book rounds out the series, providing easy-to-implement tools for all businesses to remain professional upon an employee exit while protecting your team and company.

    With higher turnover in the job market these days, a roadmap is needed that benefits both the company and person in transition. The Exit Process is the book every HR department needs on its shelf. All angles are covered with the goal of creating a win/win for everyone involved. Brenda and Amanda have placed integrity and grace at the forefront of what many times is an awkward situation. 

    —Bill McConnell, Author and Project Lead of the Conquer Yourself Project

    As a solopreneur, I appreciate the practicalities outlined in The Exit Process. Even if your team, like mine, is composed exclusively of 1099 contractors, you need a plan for releasing them. Regardless of whether someone is leaving to pursue personal goals or poor performance necessitates a parting of the ways, having the right processes in place will help ensure your business doesn’t miss a beat. A quick but thorough overview, The Exit Process equips you to protect your business and prepare the way for smooth transitions.

    Such insightful information! As a business owner, the art of learning how to not burn bridges is an essential facet of your success story. We want as many referrals as possible when marketing our businesses, and what a fabulous referral an ex-employee can be in the long run. I applaud Brenda and Amanda for bringing solid solutions to the table for human resources.
