An employee is retiring

The retirement of an employee is a happy event on the one hand and a sad one on the other. For the worker, retirement usually means the end of a working career and the beginning of enjoying some well-deserved time off after a lifetime of hard work. Finally, the newly retired person has time for hobbies, grandchildren, and crossword puzzles.

For the employer, the departure of this worker is rather painful. A workforce with a lot of experience and knowledge is leaving. Despite the best efforts, this knowledge cannot be 'transferred' to the 'replacement' employee.

As an employer, do you know what you need to do (apart from the farewell event) if your employee is retiring?
