Firing Staff Properly! |
|
 |
Anyone
with an ounce of compassion, will find
firing someone a difficult task, probably
the hardest thing you will ever have to
do as a manager.
It's so hated that most employers are
tempted to rush through it, just to get
it over with. DON'T!
A good idea is to prepare a script either
in your head or written down including
the points you want to cover during the
meeting. This will help you conduct a
better meeting. A good thing to remember
is that being kind and honest is essential.
Often the employee will have to work a
period of notice, which can be anything
up to a month, this is usually stated
in the contract. If this is the case,
ensure that the employee understands this.
When you have ended the meeting, don't
rush the employee out the door. A good
idea is to offer the employee the chance
to finish tasks, complete projects, and
make arrangements for keeping in touch
with co-workers, if they so wish.
It is interesting to know that most legal
actions have arisen from the employee's
resentment of how he or she was treated
during the termination meeting. Think
of the person's feelings and try to end
the meeting on a positive note.
Good
Luck!! |
