HBR IdeaCast

Alison Dachner, management professor at John Carroll University, and Erin Makarius, management professor at the University of Akron, say that an organization can become more competitive by implementing a stronger offboarding process.

Dachner and Makarius wrote the HBR article "Turn Departing Employees into Loyal Alumni."
