Five Ways To Serve Your Notice Period Responsibly


PUTTING IN YOUR papers doesn’t mean that your responsibilities are over. Remember, not fulfilling your duties properly creates a bad impression. Sreeradha D Basu tells you what to keep in mind during the notice period. 


Don’t Be Casual Just because you are serving your notice period, don’t treat it flippantly. “Remember, you still aren’t exempted from the rules, regulations, policies and procedures of to the company,” says Sudhir Dhar, senior VP -HR, Motilal Oswal Financial Services. 

Hand Over Your Work Work half-done is equal to work not done. Advises Sudhir Dhar: “It is very important from the individual and team point of view that the employee on notice period gives a thorough handover to the new person.” 

Share Contact Details “It makes sense to share your contact details with your colleagues. You never know when it can come in handy,” says K Bansal, who recently joined a consulting firm after a six-year stint at his last one. 

No Badmouthing Don’t spread negativity if you were dissatisfied. “One should not start talking negatively about the company,” warns Motilal Oswal’s Dhar. 

Don’t Be Critical No matter how tempting it may be to vent your frustrations about the organisation, don’t do that during the exit interview. Steer clear of raking up any controversy.
