How line managers can help

Make sure you’re clear on what support is available (e.g. CV workshops, coaching) so you can direct people to the right services at the right time.

Encourage early engagement with practical help, before their last day.

Feed back themes to HR or programme leads of learning needs, to help shape better support.
