Memorable Ideas for Former Employees

Working in a team, people often become not only colleagues, but also friends. They even know personal belongings about each other, and the dismissal of one of the employees often becomes a real loss for colleagues. Regardless of the reason for leaving the employee, the team in most cases wants to cheer up their colleague by giving him a memorable gift. This can be a general gift, as well as various souvenirs from each colleague. The main thing is to make a farewell gift from the bottom of my heart and remind about the best moments spent in a friendly team.

Leaving from the usual place of work may be dictated by a variety of conditions. Consider the most common causes of dismissal.

• Personal factors. This includes everything related to the circumstances of the life of the employee. For example, wedding, relocation, imminent birth of a child, state of health and other situations that are not related to the working environment and politics of a company. It happens that a firing employee himself gives his colleagues commemorative gifts.

The most stressful option of care, it is due either to the fact that the employee did not cope with the responsibilities assigned to him, or he had an insoluble conflict with the manager. In this case, the dismissal from work occurs more likely in a negative way, and the task of the team is to support the colleague, smooth the overall impression of this situation.
• Shift work. Often an employee leaves the previous place when he finds something more appropriate and appropriate to his needs. For example, a new job is closer to home or provides better working conditions. And the most common argument is that a new firm has a higher salary.
