Course Description

Terminating an employee is never an easy decision. Even with open communication and efforts to encourage improvement, there are situations where termination becomes unavoidable. One of the most challenging aspects of this process is maintaining objectivity and focusing on facts rather than emotions. Since termination should always be a last resort, managers need to ensure that all other options have been thoroughly explored before proceeding.

Our Employee Termination Processes workshop equips participants with the critical skills needed to handle this difficult task professionally and ethically. This training emphasizes the importance of a structured approach, ensuring that managers are prepared to navigate terminations with fairness, compassion, and adherence to organizational policies.
