The way we treat employees as they exit has never been more important than it is today. When a layoff or termination is done well, the affected employees will feel that they have been treated with dignity. Equally important, they will leave with a more positive impression of their employer, and more focused on the real task at hand—gaining new employment. This guide was designed to assist you in conducting employee separation notifications, and to work through the layoff process with dignity and respect for the employees affected.
