So much of how we do business has changed in recent decades, but giving two weeks notice is still the most common way employees exit companies. It’s a broken paradigm that is detrimental to both companies and employees, and it’s time to try something new. Openly acknowledging that your company might not be the best fit for everyone long-term allows you to completely change the dialogue and relationships with your team members. Robert Glazer, founder and CEO of Acceleration Partners, introduces the Mindful Transition concept, a transparent, compassionate system that is proven to handle employee departures in a mutually beneficial way and solve employee dissatisfaction before it leads to disengagement and turnover. Robert Glazer is the founder and CEO of Acceleration Partners, a global performance marketing agency and the recipient of numerous industry and company culture awards, including Glassdoor’s Employees’ Choice Awards two years in a row. He is the author of the motivational newsletter Friday Forward, which reaches over 100,000 people each week across the world and inspired his upcoming book Elevate, coming out October 1. Robert is also the author of the international bestselling book, Performance Partnerships and is a sought-after speaker by companies and organizations around the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
