Employee Farewell Letter
by Management
Give your workers a subscription to move on and do life their way... 
A personalised employee farewell letter that frames leaving in positive terms - such as a New Beginning and Opportunities - should be part of the leaving process that will reduce grievances between employees and management.
In these current economic times, it is very prudent to ensure that your employees leave on the most positive note possible.
An encouraging goodbye letter, for all leavers, with outplacement services will ensure that there is no rancour or bitterness.
This in turn will make your company desirable to work for when the next boom cycle occurs, so that you attract the best talent and in turn, increase productivity.
There is no real measure for the goodwill that these 'small things', such as goodbye letters, can do for people faced with an uncertain future.
Why not consider providing
work-at-home website retraining
for your outplaced employees?

Example employee farewell letter:
Dear XYZ,
As per our last conversation on 11/22/2008, I regret to confirm that the position you have filled in the company is now redundant.
It's with a heavy heart that we lose you, as it was a very difficult decision. We could not justify keeping the position in these current times.
Please be assured that, had the decision been made to keep the position, there would have been no question about keeping you in the role.
The decision to reduce our workforce was the toughest decision we could possibly make, and we acknowledge the impact this news has on affected employees.
We deeply regrethaving to take this action.
We are committed to treating people fairly and respectfully throughout this transition in and we thank each and every employee affected for their commitment and service to the company.
We are making difficult decisions during challenging times.
Other changes to the company have been: [list changes, numbers of other redundancies, and other loss of perks etc].
We have enrolled you in the Outplacement program with GHJ, courtesy of the company. GHJ will outline new opportunities and direct you onto new paths. We are well aware of your considerable skills [listing them is a nice touch, or mention a project they did well in] and believe GHJ can help you to find new ways to use them in different industries, or other companies with different directions to ours.
We encourage you to take up this service, as we believe you can continue to make significant contributions in a new direction.
Your last day will be [date] and we would appreciate you handing over the outstanding work to RST. We will be having a farewell party for everyone on the [date] after the Outplacement program finishes.
I wish you all the best in your future.
Warmest regards,
PQR
on behalf of TUV company.
