Join us for the October Monthly Meeting!
Saying Goodbye - Involuntary Separations Made Easier and Safer!
An involuntary separation is stressful for the employee, the people delivering the news and the affected coworkers. Unfortunately, it can often mean more than stress and create real threats to the workplace. Disgruntled former or soon-to-be former employees can cause harm or violence to your organization.
Fortunately, there are ways to prepare for a respectful and safe, involuntary separation – before, during, and after the conversation. Looking at involuntary separation from an HR and threat perspective, Melissa’s presentation will include hands-on tips for how to say goodbye, when and how to stay connected to former employees, with a checklist you can easily adapt to your own workplace. Join and add tools to your toolbox for safety and respectfully ending employment relationships.
