The 10 sweetest staff farewell treats

In today's mobile talent market, staff are increasingly turning into job-hoppers looking to avail better opportunities elsewhere.

But as they do, it is important for bosses to remember that a good relationship needs to be maintained with departing staff (especially considering hiring boomerang employees is all the rage these days).

And a great way of celebrating talent's contributions to your company and ensuring they leave on a positive note would be to award them with a farewell token or goodie.

However, giving away farewell goodies can be tricky, - while you do not want to spend too little on these items (and hence imply you don't value the departing employee in question), you don't want to spend too much either.

Here is a count-down of the top 10 farewell goodies according to Cosmopolitan.

Be creative.  Dazzle your colleagues with Chupa Chups, marshmallows, sweet soups or weird flavour pies .  The young lads in the office will love it but not so sure about the generation X.
