A fixed part of the offboarding journey
By adding the creation of a farewell page as a standard item on the retirement offboarding checklist, it stops being an extra task that depends on the goodwill of an individual manager, and becomes a fixed step in the process.
A lasting keepsake for the departing employee
Unlike a reception that is over after a few hours, the page is kept. For someone who has given a large part of their working life to an organisation, that is tangible proof of the mark they have left.
Frequently asked questions from HR teams
How far in advance should a farewell page be created?
Four to six weeks before the retirement date gives enough time to reach former colleagues, clients or suppliers as well, and give them a chance to contribute.
Can people outside the organisation leave a message too?
Yes. The link can be shared with anyone, including people outside the organisation such as former colleagues, clients or suppliers, without them needing access to internal systems.
What happens to the page after the retirement date?
The page remains available to the retired employee, who can look at it again at any time or share it with family.
Is this also suitable for a shorter career, for example early retirement?
Yes. The approach is not tied to a minimum number of years of service and works just as well for a shorter but meaningful career.
