Terminating Employees Safely
Duration: 75 Minutes
The risks of a former employee filing a discrimination charge increase significantly after they are terminated involuntarily. It is hard to find information on how many discrimination charges are as a result of terminating employees (as opposed to hiring, discipline, or other reasons), but in my experience of 42 years in dealing with Human Resources issues, I would say that the percentage is more than 95 percent. Therefore, termination must be handled well. There are several steps that should be followed when having a termination discussion with an employee. Following the steps in this webinar will greatly minimize your risks of being charged with discrimination when you have to terminate an employee.
- Ensuring that the termination is not a "surprise"
- The best day and time to conduct a termination
- Allowing the employee to walk out with their head up
- Behaviors to avoid when terminating an employee
- How to communicate the change to co-workers?
- Planning for the termination discussion
- The importance of work standards and standards of behavior
- Steps to take when considering terminating an employee
- Things to avoid when telling an employee they are no longer employed
- Planning the termination discussion
- Things to have prepared for the terminated employee
- Writing a script for the discussion
- Communications with co-workers after the termination
- The importance of documentation
In this webinar, participants will learn how to document poor performance, conduct disciplinary discussions, and terminate employees safely in a way that will minimize the risks of the employee going to a governmental agency to get back at the employer.
