Leavers process
If a member of staff decides to leave the Trust, their manager is responsible for arranging a meeting with them.
The aim of the meeting is to understand why the member of staff is looking to leave and if any action can be taken locally or wider to retain them.
The meeting is critical to retain staff and ensure their key skills and experiences are not lost.
