Mastering Legal Terminations:
Minimize Risks and Navigate Challenges
Definitive, practical guidance on how to avoid the negative legal and emotional fallout of terminations
Terminating employees is one of the riskiest and most emotionally charged tasks for any HR team or supervisor. The consequences of mishandling terminations can be severe, resulting in costly lawsuits, damaged morale and potential workplace disruptions. Take proactive steps to mitigate these risks with the right knowledge and preparation.
Learn from real-life cases where termination errors led to multimillion-dollar legal settlements
For instance, a jury awarded over $25 million to a manager wrongfully terminated in the aftermath of a high-profile incident. And a Black clerk at a Saks Fifth Avenue store who claimed she was unfairly fired netted a jury award of $9.3 million.
Plus, you have to deal with the emotional fallout, co-worker morale and risk of potential violence.
