What to do when your top-performing employee resigns: A guide to handling their departure with professionalism and grace.

Managing employee turnover is a common challenge for engineering managers - and anyone who manages people. Employees come and go, and replacing them is part of the job. However, when a highly valuable member of your team announces their departure, it can be particularly challenging.

It is crucial to handle this situation with care, considering various factors and ensuring minimal impact on the team and the departing employee

Understanding the reasons why good employees leave and knowing how to respond is essential. In some cases, employee departures are straightforward, with reasonable performers who are easily replaceable or contractors for whom turnover is expected.

This is a difficult experience for any team leader, as it requires careful consideration of multiple aspects. As a leader, your responsibility is to mitigate any lasting negative effects on the team and the departing employee.
