  • Description:

    An involuntary separation is stressful for the employee, the people delivering the news, and for the coworkers affected. Unfortunately, it can often mean more than stress. In addition to the costs of replacing an employee, there are many other direct and indirect costs. And high-profile stories of disgruntled former employees causing harm or violence lend real fears to organizations.

    This presentation outlines key steps to prepare for a respectful involuntary separation – before, during and after the conversation. Intended to be practical, we include checklists and helpful tips you can easily adapt to your workplace. With understandable concerns about potential violence, we have a section on reasons to stay connected to former employees and monitor for concerns if necessary.

Schedule:

* Registration/Networking: 10:30 am
* Program starts: 11:45 am
* Lunch: 11:55 am
