Employee transitions come in many forms. Whether you’re onboarding new hires, promoting internal talent, or managing departures, each moment impacts your culture, productivity, and compliance. This month, we’re sharing resources, training, and tools to help you handle transitions smoothly and strategically. From first days to farewells, we’re here to support every step.
Employee transitions—whether it’s a resignation, a retirement, or a layoff—can feel complex. But with the right, you can handle each step with confidence, care, and compliance. Access your AAIM member benefits that help you navigate key moments in the employee lifecycle.
Not every employee exit follows a clean script. Sometimes the situation falls into a gray area—like an employee who walks off the job without formal notice, or a potential misconduct issue you’re unsure how to document. We regularly receive emails and calls to the Hotline from members who just want to make sure they’re handling things the right way.

Ghosting Doesn’t Just Happen During the Interview Process
It’s easy to assume the job is “won” once an offer is accepted—but the time between offer and Day 1 is critical. If communication slows down or disappears, candidates can disengage or even back out. Ghosting after an accepted offer happens more often than you’d think.
To prevent it, keep the communication flowing. Share onboarding timelines, first-day expectations, introductions to the team, and any prep materials in advance. Unsure what to say? Use your favorite AI tool to help draft these messages. Want to save even more time? Automate the entire process.
Explore Strategic Opportunities: AAIMTrack’s Communication Inbox allows you to centralize emails and texts with candidates—keeping everyone informed and reducing the risk of last-minute drop-offs. It’s a great way to turn that warm offer into a confident start.
