Employee terminations are one of the most challenging responsibilities for business owners and managers and one of the most legally and culturally impactful. This training provides practical guidance on how to manage terminations professionally, reduce risk, maintain team morale, and ensure decisions are handled with fairness and respect. Attendees will learn the key steps to follow before, during, and after a termination, common mistakes to avoid, and how strong systems can prevent unnecessary turnover.

Learning Objectives and Key Takeaways:

1. Termination should never be a surprise. Clear expectations and ongoing feedback make difficult decisions more defensible and humane.

2. Documentation protects the business and supports fairness. Good records reduce legal exposure and ensure consistency.

3. How you terminate affects your entire workplace culture. Employees remember how leadership handles tough moments.

4. A structured process reduces risk and stress. Preparation, clear communication, and follow-up are essential.

5. Strong systems prevent many terminations. Hiring, training, coaching, and accountability reduce avoidable turnover.

Employee terminations are hard. Doing them wrong is costly. Learn best practices to protect your business, your team, and your peace of mind

There's a right way to handle employee terminations and most managers were never taught it.

When terminations go wrong, it's rarely because of bad intentions. It's because the employer didn't follow best practices: the documentation wasn't there, the conversation was mishandled, or the decision came as a surprise to everyone including the employee.

This webinar walks you through the best practices that HR professionals rely on to manage terminations professionally, reduce risk, and protect team morale. You'll learn what to do before, during, and after a termination, the common mistakes that trip up even well-meaning managers, and how strong systems can prevent unnecessary turnover before it starts.

If your termination process is "we figure it out when it happens," this training will give you something far better to work with.
