Firing Employees Respectfully and Properly

By Paul Davis

As someone professionally trained in negotiations, conflict resolution, and advanced interrogation to detect lies & fabrication I understand the importance of properly firing employees. Whatever the reasons - whether it is due to unproductivity, on the job hostility, being uncooperative, or poor sales - firing employees is always justifiable internally when the costs exceed the rewards of keeping a worker. Yet when firing an employee great care should be used so as to not anger and create a disgruntled individual who will come back to later haunt you.

Dos and don'ts for firing employees:

1. Don't publicize and make known what you are preparing to do.

2. Terminate an employee at the end of the week and toward the end of the day so they don't bring excessive attention to themselves and the termination.

3. Speak to the individual and let them know how much you appreciate them as a person, but that professionally you longer feel they are a good fit for the organization.

4. Thank the employee for their past performance and contribution to the corporation.

5. Offer to write a letter of recommendation to help them secure employment elsewhere.

6. Write a memo to all employees with the same position detailing what is expected of them and reassuring them that their jobs are secure.

7. Personally talk to all of your key workers after the firing and strengthen your bond with them to prevent an undercurrent of criticism and keep the loyalty you have built over time.

Remember being an employee for a company is something that involves your mind, will, and emotions, Therefore when letting a worker go, try to consider the relational aspect and handle people respectfully and courteously.
