Employee Termination Advice
Corrective action and termination guidance are a few of the most common consulting calls we receive. We all know that we must address violations of policy, inappropriate behavior, or poor work conduct, but we hate to do it! We don’t know how to say what we need to say, and so we avoid it—until it happens again. We’re here to demystify the process and give you the tools you need to effectively handle corrective action and employee separations.
Should you have to terminate an employee, keep the following best practices in mind:
- Document the key events that led to this decision
- Be respectful
- Stick to the plan
- Do not negotiate
- Do not use inflammatory language
- Give the individual time to process your decision before moving on to housekeeping items
- Request all company property before they leave
- Remove access to company systems
These are just some examples of the employee termination advice we give our clients. We’ll find the right plan of action for you depending on your particular situation. This isn’t easy, but unfortunately, involuntary separation is a part of the job. Always remember, when you work with HRM, we’re in your corner helping you every step of the way.
