Offboarding: Dignified Closure vs Operational Exit

With Newployee, offboarding is handled as a guided, dignity-first journey with clear phases, role-based ownership, structured handovers, document sign-offs, and built-in reflection to capture learning, while Rippling approaches offboarding as an operational process focused on access removal, compliance, and system shutdowns giving Newployee the advantage by treating exits as meaningful transitions, not just administrative closures.
