Who Should Attend
HR directors, managers, business partners, generalists, and employee relations professionals who advise on proposed terminations, review supporting information, prepare managers for termination conversations, or coordinate the process.
How You Will Benefit
Identify unanswered questions before supporting a proposed termination.
Assess whether the stated reasons and available records are consistent.
Recognize concerns requiring further review or specialist advice.
Prepare managers to communicate the decision clearly and respectfully.
Coordinate responsibilities, practical arrangements, and employee follow-up.
What You Will Cover
Learn how to move from a manager’s request to a structured readiness assessment. Examine the information HR needs to review, the questions that could change the next step, and the responsibilities that must be clear before a conversation is scheduled.
Work through a case involving unresolved performance concerns, incomplete documentation, and pressure for immediate action. Determine what requires clarification, how to prepare the manager, and which practical arrangements need attention.
Seminar Outline
Assess the Proposed Decision Before Planning the Meeting
Clarify the reasons, relevant history, and decision authority. Identify gaps, inconsistencies, or circumstances requiring further inquiry before the process proceeds.
Identify Questions Requiring Specialist Review
Recognize when the circumstances raise issues that need legal or other specialist input. Prepare a focused account of the facts and questions requiring resolution.
Prepare the Manager for a Clear Conversation
Establish who will lead, what will be communicated, and how questions will be handled. Practice explaining the decision without introducing unsupported reasons, debating every past event, or making unapproved commitments.
Coordinate the Process and Follow-Through
Clarify responsibility for documents, access, equipment, employee questions, and team communication. Determine what must be arranged beforehand and what requires attention immediately afterward.

Experience You Can Trust
When a termination decision reaches HR, leaders expect more than a meeting checklist.

This seminar applies that practical focus to the questions, responsibilities, and communication choices that determine how a difficult decision is carried out.
