We ask that supervisors include the following information when posting about a staff departure: Name; program; position; last day at work (staff’s official last day might be different if they are taking vacation); appreciation for their contributions to the Academy, and best wishes in their next adventure. If staff wish to announce their departure personally, that is an acceptable alternative. If staff request the notice be posted after their departure that should be respected.
We also ask for your help with the organization of information on Workplace. Specifically:
Staffing Updates should be used to notify all staff about staffing changes, e.g. recruitment, new hires, departures/exits, and transitions to new positions.
Celebrations should be used for announcements about planned celebrations that could be associated with the Academy life cycle (e.g. new hires, transitions, departures) or personal life cycle (e.g. marriages, graduations, retirements, births/baby showers). Please note that staff have different preferences, and while some like to be celebrated publicly, others do not.
Miscellaneous can be used by exiting staff who want to share additional departing words or contact info that doesn't naturally arise via comments to the original departure announcement under Staffing Updates.
