Your star employee walks into your office, closes the door, and says those dreaded words: 'Do you have a minute?' with a concerned and nervous look on her face. In that moment, your heart sinks as you realize what's coming - an unexpected resignation from someone you thought was fully engaged. We've all been there, scrambling to create transition plans for the two-week notice period, wondering how we missed the signs, and questioning if we could have prevented this moment.

In this episode of The Manager Track podcast, Ramona Shaw sits down with bestselling author and seasoned entrepreneur Robert Glazer to explore a bold new way to approach employee transitions and exits - one that benefits both companies and individuals.

Robert shares practical strategies to replace the traditional two-week notice period (most common in the US) with a process rooted in transparency, psychological safety, and open communication.

What you’ll learn:

- How workplace dynamics are shifting and what it means for employee transitions and exits

- Strategies for fostering open and honest conversations

- The role of psychological safety in smooth employee exits

- How generational differences shape expectations during departures

- Transition program ideas that support both employees and teams

If you want to reimagine how departures are managed on your team while improving performance and retention, this episode offers the perfect insights and tools to get you started.
