Frequently asked questions
What should a handover email include?
Your key responsibilities, current projects and their status, upcoming deadlines, where files and logins live, and who to contact for each area. Keep it clear and easy to scan, and offer to answer questions.
When should I send a handover email?
Usually in your final week, once your handover document is ready, so colleagues have time to ask questions before your last day.
Who should get a handover email?
Often your manager, your team, and your replacement if there is one. Clients or external contacts may need a shorter version focused on continuity and their new point of contact.
Does this tool save what I type?
No. Your details are only used to build the email on this page. Nothing is stored and there's no sign-up.
