Why KIND's CEO Asks For 2 Months' Notice From Departing Employees

When you quit a job, you typically give two weeks' notice. But at KIND Healthy Snacks they do things differently.
Founder and CEO Daniel Lubetzky asks employees, whom he calls "team members," for at least two months, and in some cases two years' notice.
In return, Lubetzky focuses on their professional growth with "unremitting loyalty and trust" until the day they leave.
It may sound extreme, unrealistic even, to ask for two months' notice — or two years' notice from those who work with him directly — but his reasoning makes perfect sense.
"We call the KIND team a 'family,' so major life transitions [like changing jobs] aren't meant to be concealed until the last minute," Lubetzky tells Business Insider. "No one should be scared to talk about what's next for them.
"I would rather a team member come to me months in advance letting me know what they have going on in their life," he says, "whether it be a baby on the way, a relocation for personal reasons, or a plan to go back to school."
Lubetzky doesn't expect his employees to accept a job elsewhere and ask the new employer to delay their start date by two months or two years. He simply wants anyone who is exploring new opportunities to be open about it.
