Handling Employee Termination

Steps to Telling an Employee They Are Fired provides guidance on acting swiftly, decisively, and professionally during an employee termination. Letting someone go is never easy, and it doesn't feel good to inform an employee that their performance, behavior, or fit with the team is not satisfactory. However, when handled properly, the employee may not feel good about the situation, but they will at least feel they were treated with dignity, professionalism, and respect.
