Separating an employee from a firm is difficult and requires careful preparation.
Dismissal with dignity is the process of parting ways with an individual in a way that maintains one’s self-esteem. It requires communicating with empathy, transparency, and professionalism, ensuring the individual feels respected despite the circumstances.
Our approach prioritizes mutual respect and understanding while aiming to foster a constructive transition for both parties involved.
As your trusted HR advisor, we will ensure you do the following:
Be transparent about your firm’s separation process.
Assess if any protected factors could pose a risk should you end up separating the employee.
Initiate documentation of performance issues early on, using non-threatening language and focusing on observable behaviors.
Work with managers to determine the best course of action while establishing a timeline that aligns with the business and firm policy.
Coordinate the final meeting and help prepare all necessary paperwork.
Coach the employee’s manager on the best way to conduct the final conversation. We want to ensure the conversation is brief and to the point. Your HR Advisor can assist with talking points and provide backup and logistical support during and after the conversation.
Ensure all electronic and physical building access has been revoked before the employee leaves the office.
Determine what options may be available to return all personal belongings to the employee.
