For Alberta
Employment Lawyers
Thoughtful, well-coordinated exits protect employees and the digital workplace they leave behind.
Secure Departures collaborates with Alberta Employment Lawyers to provide high touch, short-term support to help their clients carry out involuntary terminations.
Our discreet, experienced HR professionals attend (in-person or virtually) to facilitate the meeting, prepare communication scripts, and guide logistics on the day-of.
We also coordinate a secure IT offboarding that is precisely timed to align with the moment HR initiates the termination meeting to revoke network access and reduce digital risks.
❋ We Attend and Facilitate
How many times have your clients asked you to run the termination meeting for them? Given the emotion and complexity of the situation, it’s understandable, but it puts lawyers in a challenging position. Or, it may simply not be the best use of your time.
That’s where we can help.
We attend the termination meeting with your client to provide a calm, professional presence and to facilitate the process with clarity and empathy.
❋ Collaborative on Purpose
Secure Departures emerged from years of experience addressing the individual and organizational consequences resulting from poorly handled terminations.
We understand the heightened risk to systems and the business in the critical moments following an involuntary termination. Thats why our HR and IT experts collaborate with intent to carefully prepare for and orchestrate the offboarding process.
❋ The Details Matter
We do more than just show up. We also provide your client with guidance to prepare for logistics, a script for the termination meeting itself, a communication plan for the rest of the business, payroll instructions for the final pay and ROE, help with benefits administration, and more.
We can also assist with the coordination of mental health and/or outplacement support for the departing employee.
❋ Technology Offboarding
When elevated emotion combines with access to systems, devices, data, and credentials that persist beyond the termination meeting, cybersecurity incidents linked to insider threat and data exposure present a higher risk.
Together, a collective responsibility exists between IT and HR when it comes to high-risk situations like involuntary exits.
This service is particularly valuable in sensitive or high-risk cases such as senior leadership exits or where a departing employee has privileged access to critical systems.
