HR Practices in Terminating Employees

Recorded Session
60 Minutes

Terminating an employee is one of the hardest parts of work, especially when you've had a friendly relationship with the person. This 60-minute webinar on HR practices in terminating employees gives you tools for every stage of the process.

You'll learn the procedures to have in place before a termination, the different reasons for termination and the material and information each requires, and how to prepare for the termination meeting.

The session covers what to say and what not to say in the meeting, what to tell others afterward, and post-termination steps that keep the workplace safe and secure, so you can reduce, defend against and prevent employee lawsuits and lower the risk of workplace violence.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

A termination handled badly or for the wrong reasons can lead to lawsuits and even workplace violence, and your decision could be examined by a court and jury for years. This session shows practical steps to make the process smoother and lower those risks.
