Onboarding, Offboarding, and Layoff Checklist For HR Teams

Employee transitions are critical moments in any organisation and this checklist helps you always get them right.

Without structure, even one missed step can lead to confusion, security risks, or lasting cultural damage.

This checklist gives you a complete framework to manage all three transitions with clarity, consistency, and care.
