Why Employee Onboarding & Offboarding Matters
Did you know? Companies with strong onboarding improve new hire retention by 82%, and productivity by over 70% within the first year.
Your people deserve better. So does your business.
Poor offboarding can result in security breaches, reputational risk, and missed opportunities for valuable insights.

Employment Rights Act 2025
Probation Matters More From 2027
From 1 January 2027, employees can claim unfair dismissal after just 6 months’ service, down from 2 years. The first six months of employment, and how you onboard and review new starters, now matter more than ever.
Structured probation reviews
Planned check-ins at key points, with a final review well before the six-month mark.
Clear records from day one
Objectives, feedback and support documented properly, so every decision is fair and evidenced.
Early, honest conversations
Guidance for managers on raising concerns early and handling them the right way.
Dates correct as of September 2026 and subject to change.

We Manage
Offboarding process
How We Manage Every Exit With Precision and Empathy
Every exit is more than a transaction — it’s a transition. At Clearpath UK, we approach employee departures with the same care and structure as a new hire’s first day.
Whether it’s a resignation, retirement, redundancy, or contract completion, our offboarding process is designed to preserve dignity, protect company interests, and extract meaningful insights.
We make sure every step is handled securely, legally, and humanely — because how someone leaves your business says just as much as how they entered it. Check out our process step by step.
Resignation/Termination Initiation
- Notification to stakeholders, documentation, and timeline setup
- Checklist sharing with managers and departments
Exit Prep & Communication
- Asset return coordination
- Data handover and IP protection measures
- Personalised departure communications
Exit Day Experience
- Final walkthrough and feedback collection
- System deactivation and data offboarding
- HR compliance finalisation
Post-Exit
- Optional alumni inclusion
- Manager debrief
- Culture and retention insight review
By combining compliance expertise with a deeply human approach, we ensure that exits aren’t just clean — they’re constructive. This process protects your brand, reduces organisational risk, and leaves the door open for future collaboration. That’s how Clearpath UK turns offboarding into a strategic asset.
