The Aftermath of Firing an Employee – Part 2

The conversation continues today! This topic is simply too large to cover in one episode. Today, Dr. Kuba and Bethany talk about what can occur on the team after an employee is fired. First, the terminated employee could very well experience strong emotions after the well-executed termination. He or she could lash out in a variety of ways not limited to bashing you online or in social media, talking negatively about you to professional referral sources, or even luring your employees away to other jobs. How should one manage this explosion of emotions? You might be surprised to hear Bethany mention that most of these reactions are non-consequential and therefore should not elicit a frantic response. Second, Dr. Kuba discusses the critical importance of having a plan and talking openly about the plan. Many team members may wonder who is going to take over the tasks of the terminated employee. BEFORE the termination, it is critical to thoroughly think through a plan for covering the roles and responsibilities of the former employee.
