THE MANAGEMENT TIP OF THE DAY: Harvard Business Review

July 31, 2019

Give Your Departing Employees More Attention

Managers know how important it is to give time and attention to new employees — but few do the same for employees who announce they’re leaving. Don’t write off a departing employee or get angry about their decision; use the departure as a learning experience. Schedule some time to sit down with the person, and ask about their plans as well as about why they’re leaving. Their answers may reveal workplace issues you weren’t aware of, which could help you retain other employees. You should also talk to them about how they contributed to your team. Highlight specific examples of good work and any talents they have that you find particularly valuable; think of your feedback as a farewell gift. It’s a good idea to maintain positive relationships with departing employees, both because they could be a networking resource later on and because it shows current employees that you value the people on your team.

Earning Back Your Coworkers’ Trust After a Lie

Most of us lie at work from time to time. And whether it’s an intentional deception or a “harmless” exaggeration, being found out jeopardizes your credibility. To start repairing your reputation, think about why you lied. Knowing the conditions that led you to that choice can help you resist the urge to lie again in the future. Next, assess how much damage your lie did. Are coworkers no longer seeking your opinion? Are your comments being received coolly? Think about what your reputation is now and what you’d like it to be. Then find ways to demonstrate honesty. If your humility is in question, express doubt about your ideas. If you exaggerated your contributions to a project, go out of your way to highlight others’ work. Your colleagues probably aren’t trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, so show them that you know you made a mistake and are trying to learn from it.
