Letting an Employee Go Gracefully

Course Overview

Letting an employee go is tough – especially when you’re the one who has to deliver the bad news. It will never feel good to tell someone that their performance is unsatisfactory, their behavior is unacceptable, or that they aren’t a good fit for your team.

Still, someone has to do it – and the more tact you have, the better. In this course, we’ll explore good reasons for termination, and initial steps to take to mitigate legal risk and develop a smooth transition plan. Finally, you’ll learn how to best deliver the dreaded news and maintain workplace morale afterward.
