Description

Join our webinar to learn how to manage and exit difficult employees effectively, minimizing stress and legal risks while protecting your company’s reputation

Too many employers fail to exit staff despite grounds for dismissal, for fear the employee will raise an expensive personal grievance.

Perhaps your staff member is a poor performer, a bully, or damaging your company’s reputation.

Most employers will need to exit employees at some stage but are unsure how to do it properly.

In this webinar, find out how to manage and exit difficult employees with less stress.

We will focus on the legal and practical points around managing and exiting difficult employees.

We will answer your questions around exiting staff, such as:

• Understand what behaviour can be changed, what is temporary and when does someone need to leave.
• When is it appropriate to part ways with a difficult employee?
• What are the key steps to follow before terminating someone for poor performance?
• What factors should you consider when exiting an employee due to poor performance?
• What practical measures should you take to manage the aftermath of a problematic employee's departure?
• How can you minimise the risk of them speaking negatively about your company?
• How do you provide a fair and honest reference to their future employer?

Join employment lawyer Julia Shallcrass and behavioral expert Michael Hempseed for an overview of how to exit problematic employees with less stress.
