the termination meeting. This practice communicates an effort to make the process as easy as possible and gives the worker an opportunity to ask questions about the dol- lar amount without having to call later. “The departing individual should be given clear details about how their final paycheck was calculated, any sever- ance package, and the availability of continued benefits,” said Slattery. The employer can help the terminated worker plan their next career step by providing a reference letter, or at least the name and contact information for someone who can provide references. “If possible, provide a connection to an outplacement service company that can meet with the employee to help with such tasks as preparing resumes and dealing with job boards,” said Tosh. Bonus tip: It can be prudent to give the employee a letter which details everything discussed in the meeting.

“Very often the employee will be in shock about their ter- mination, with the result they don’t listen to, or forget, what you say,” said Pau. “It’s important to have everything writ- ten down.” Move Forward What information should be shared with the remaining employees? Managers need to avoid invading the depart- ing worker’s privacy by stating why the person left. Mindful of the risk, some managers are tempted to say nothing at all. That can create morale issues. “I’ve seen organizations where a person disappears and nobody knows anything,” said Reitz. “That can create paranoia, and lead to rumors spreading like wildfire.” A generic statement is best. “I usually recommend sending a company-wide communication that acknowl- edges the individual is no longer with the company and that everyone wishes them the best of luck,” said Reitz. “If asked why the individual left, it’s wise to say something like ‘Well, that is not important. What is important is that we wish them well.’” Bonus tip: If a small group has worked closely with the departing individual, it can help maintain morale to bring them together in a private meeting to announce the de- parture.
